2007-07-18[x86 setup] Fix assembly constraintsH. Peter Anvin
Fix incorrect assembly constraints. In particular, fix memory constraints used inside push..pop, which can cause invalid operation since gcc may generate %esp-relative references. Additionally: outl() should have "dN" not "dn". query_mca() shouldn't listen 16/32-bit registers in an 8-bit only context. has_eflag(): the "mask" is only used well after both the stack pointer and the output registers have been touched; this requires the output registers to be earlyclobbers (=&) and the input to exclude memory (so "ri", not "g"). Thanks to Etienne Lorrain and Chuck Ebbert for prompting this review. Cc: Etienne Lorrain <etienne_lorrain@yahoo.fr> Cc: Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: H.

2007-07-12CPU features verification for the new x86 setup codeH. Peter Anvin
Verify that the CPU has enough features to run the kernel. This may entail enabling features on some CPUs. By doing this in the setup code we can be guaranteed to still be able to write to the console through the BIOS. Signed-off-by: H.
