* Document GPT boot protocol; add !GPT signature3.6xH. Peter Anvin2008-05-132-0/+93
| | | | | | Document the GPT boot protocol; add additional assurance by requiring that EAX contains "!GPT" for the GPT information to be valid.
* Add NEWS for 3.64syslinux-3.64-pre1H. Peter Anvin2008-05-131-0/+4

| * gptmbr: use cltq to extend a zero %eax into %edxH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Using cltq (cdq) to clear %edx when %eax is zero is cheaper by one byte.
| * gptmbr: Add commentH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-1/+1
| |
| * gptmbr: save phdr -> bootsect on the stack, saving one byteH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-2/+4
| |
| * gptmbr: another confusion of start and end fieldsH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | Use the start field for the boot sector address...
| * gptmbr: fix confusion between start and end fieldsH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a case of bad confusion of the start and end fields (length = end-start+1, so we can't easily reuse the load of the start field.)
| * gptmbr: use xchgw %ax,... instead of movw %ax,... when %ax is deadH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | xhcgw with %ax and a register is one byte shorter than movw with %ax if %ax is then dead.
| * gptmbr: Use %bp for references into phdr and the stackH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-20/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Set up %bp as a permanent frame pointer and use it to reference stack and phdr fields; by putting phdr in the bootsect slot we can use it for phdr references with small displacements. This saves 5 bytes.
| * gptmbr: since %bx is advanced, we can test -2(%bx) == (bootsec+510)H. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | With %bx advanced to the end of the boot sector, we can use -2(%bx) instead of (bootsec+510), thus saving one byte.
| * gptmbr: addw $512, %bx -> addb $2, %bhH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Save one byte...
| * gptmbr: offsets into phdr are decimal, not hexH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-4/+4
| | | | | | | | The offsets into phdr, from the EFI spec, are in decimal, not hex.
| * gptmbr: move advancing %bx into read_sectorH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-4/+3
| | | | | | | | Move the advancing of %bx into read_sector, saving 3 bytes.
| * gptmbr: need to set %bx -> bootsecH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Need to tell read_sector where to load the boot sector (unlike the MBR code, where we always loaded into 0x7c00, this code uses multiple buffers.)
| * gptmbr: shuffle slightly to reduce register pressureH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | Shuffle some code slightly to reduce register pressure; no size change but this might make the code easier to follow and/or change.
| * gptmbr: shuffle slightly to save 3 bytesH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-14/+17
| | | | | | | | Shuffle some code to reduce the total size by 3 bytes
| * rep; cmpsw -> repe; cmpswH. Peter Anvin2008-02-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Same instruction, but repe is more correct for cmpsw
| * Master boot record for GPT partition tablesH. Peter Anvin2008-02-252-1/+292
| | | | | | | | Beginnings of a master boot record for GPT partition tables.
* | Fixed the various Makefiles so that SYSLINUX compiles on platforms with GCC ↵Stefan Bucur2008-05-1210-10/+14
| | | | | | | | -fstack-protector flag enabled by default.
* | chain.c32: fix booting from logical partitionsSergey Vlasov2008-04-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Booting from a logical partition failed with the "Requested logical partition not found" error due to a wrong test for partition signature in find_logical_partition(). Signed-off-by: Sergey Vlasov <vsu@altlinux.ru>
* | Next version on this branch would be 3.64H. Peter Anvin2008-04-201-1/+1

* | localboot.inc: file missing from previous checkinH. Peter Anvin2008-04-201-0/+78
| |
* | Support LOCALBOOT (ISOLINUX-style) in SYSLINUX/EXTLINUXH. Peter Anvin2008-04-1910-47/+24
| | | | | | | | | | Add support for ISOLINUX-style LOCALBOOT in SYSLINUX/EXTLINUX. No way to do the same for PXELINUX, due to the keyword collision. Suck.
* | syslinux 3.63: Use $(CC) for examining compiler optionsMaciej W. Rozycki2008-04-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Following changes to other Makefiles use $(CC) for examining compiler options here as well.
* | syslinux 3.63: Rename $GZIP to $GZIPPROGMaciej W. Rozycki2008-04-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the variable GZIP exists in the environment, overriding it in the Makefile exports it into the environment, causing failures: gzip -cd syslogo.ppm.gz | \ ../ppmtolss16 \#000000=0 \#d0d0d0=7 \#f6f6f6=15 \ > syslogo.lss gzip.gz: No such file or directory 204480 pixels, 25715 bytes, (74.85% compression) Use $GZIPPROG instead.
* | NEWS: Add link to MSDN article on how to build a ramdisk image.syslinux-3.63H. Peter Anvin2008-04-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | Hopefully other users might have better luck than me :-/
* | movebits: rewrite significant chunks of the algorithmsyslinux-3.63-pre5H. Peter Anvin2008-04-091-166/+246
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rewrite the algorithm to prefer entries which can be directly moved into their target slots; this should reduce the number of descriptors in most cases (although not necessarily *all* cases.) Try to clean up the code some while we're at it... the code is confusing enough as it is.
* | zonelist.c: Fix the coalescing of identical rangesH. Peter Anvin2008-04-091-7/+6
| | | | | | | | | | The old code could fail to coalesce backwards in the case where a range is totally obliterated. For now, just scan the whole list.

* | memdisk: allow up to 1024 e820 descriptorsH. Peter Anvin2008-04-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | There are plenty of systems out there with more than 64 e820 descriptors. The hard-coded limit is only used during initialization, so we might as well go nuts.
* | sdi.c32: be a tad more verbose.H. Peter Anvin2008-04-081-1/+5
| | | | | | | | Print minimal message while loading.
* | movebits: use the memmap data structure for the freelistH. Peter Anvin2008-04-081-152/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | | Use the syslinux_memmap data structure for the free memory list. This means we get range coalescing; this sometimes generates lists that are vastly shorter than without range coalescing.
* | movebits: handle the case of an upward overlap move with obstaclesH. Peter Anvin2008-04-081-115/+187
| | | | | | | | | | Handle the case of an upward move when there is something in the way. This happens when loading an SDI image.
* | extlinux: Correct the directory block end conditionsyslinux-3.63-pre3H. Peter Anvin2008-04-071-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ext2/3 directory blocks are *not* ended with inode == 0; that reflects a deleted block (like 0xe5 in FAT.) Directory blocks are ended by directory block exhaustion; the last block is simply made as large as the whole directory block.
* | COM32 module to load a Microsoft System Deployment ImageH. Peter Anvin2008-03-312-1/+163
| | | | | | | | COM32 module to load a Microsoft System Deployment Image (SDI) file.
* | Add target to install into /tftpbootH. Peter Anvin2008-03-221-0/+8

* | pxelinux: allow class E addresses as unicastsyslinux-3.63-pre2H. Peter Anvin2008-03-201-7/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | Class E IPv4 addresses are expected to be reassigned as available for unicast addresses (probably for site-local use, but that is a major usage domain of PXE.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove reference to readpit.c32, an experimental module never intended for release.

I'd like to thank Sebastian Herbszt for its reports and tests. This patch was made for 3.62-pre16 but applies fine on 3.63-pre1.
