That's right: kernel_info = .rodata We have been (ab)using .data for things that could go into .rodata or .bss for a long time, for lack of alternatives and -- especially early on -- inertia. Also, the BIOS stub is responsible for creating boot_params, so it isn't available to a BIOS-based loader (setup_data is, though). setup_header is permanently limited to 144 bytes due to the reach of the 2-byte jump field, which doubles as a length field for the structure, combined with the size of the "hole" in struct boot_params that a protected-mode loader or the BIOS stub has to copy it into. It is currently 119 bytes long, which leaves us with 25 very precious bytes. This isn't something that can be fixed without revising the boot protocol entirely, breaking backwards compatibility. boot_params proper is limited to 4096 bytes, but can be arbitrarily extended by adding setup_data entries. It cannot be used to communicate properties of the kernel image, because it is .bss and has no image-provided content. kernel_info solves this by providing an extensible place for information about the kernel image. It is readonly, because the kernel cannot rely on a bootloader copying its contents anywhere, but that is OK; if it becomes necessary it can still contain data items that an enabled bootloader would be expected to copy into a setup_data chunk. This patch does not bump setup_header version in arch/x86/boot/header.S because it will be followed by additional changes coming into the Linux/x86 boot protocol. Suggested-by: H. Peter Anvin (Intel) Signed-off-by: Daniel Kiper Reviewed-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Reviewed-by: Ross Philipson Reviewed-by: H. Peter Anvin (Intel) --- v4 - suggestions/fixes: - improve the documentation (suggested by Randy Dunlap and Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk). v3 - suggestions/fixes: - split kernel_info data into fixed and variable sized regions, (suggested by H. Peter Anvin), - change kernel_info.header value to "LToP" (0x506f544c), (suggested by H. Peter Anvin), - improve the comments, - improve the documentation. v2 - suggestions/fixes: - rename setup_header2 to kernel_info, (suggested by H. Peter Anvin), - change kernel_info.header value to "InfO" (0x4f666e49), - new kernel_info description in Documentation/x86/boot.rst, (suggested by H. Peter Anvin), - drop kernel_info_offset_update() as an overkill and update kernel_info offset directly from main(), (suggested by Eric Snowberg), - new commit message (suggested by H.
