      x86, intel_txt: Intel TXT boot support · 31625340
      Joseph Cihula authored 
      This patch adds kernel configuration and boot support for Intel Trusted
Execution Technology (Intel TXT).

Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel Trusted Execution
Technology (Intel TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that
provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms.

Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT).

Intel TXT in Brief:
o  Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM)
o  Data protection in case of improper shutdown
o  Measurement and verification of launched environment

Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some
non-vPro systems.  It is currently available on desktop systems based on
the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP
dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45
Express chipsets.

For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/

.
This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which
has been updated for the new released platforms.

A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to
configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file
in this patch.

This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality,
documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure,
and boot detection of a TXT launch.  Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system
will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes
properly.

      x86: Fix fixmap page order for FIX_TEXT_POKE0,1 · 12b9d7cc
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored 
      
Masami reported:

> Since the fixmap pages are assigned higher address to lower,
> text_poke() has to use it with inverted order (FIX_TEXT_POKE1
> to FIX_TEXT_POKE0).

I prefer to just invert the order of the fixmap declaration.
It's simpler and more straightforward.

Backward fixmaps seems to be used by both x86 32 and 64.

It's really rare but a nasty bug, because it only hurts when
instructions to patch are crossing a page boundary. If this
happens, the fixmap write accesses will spill on the following
fixmap, which may very well crash the system. And this does not
crash the system, it could leave illegal instructions in place.
Thanks Masami for finding this.

It seems to have crept into the 2.6.30-rc series, so this calls
for a -stable inclusion.

      x86: Fix fixmap ordering · 789d03f5
      Jan Beulich authored 
      
The merge of the 32- and 64-bit fixmap headers made a latent
bug on x86-64 a real one: with the right config settings
it is possible for FIX_OHCI1394_BASE to overlap the FIX_BTMAP_*
range.

      x86: consolidate header guards · 77ef50a5
      Vegard Nossum authored 
      
This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.

The format:

1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
   distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
   underscores.
