<id>urn:sha1:8b766b0f8eece55155146f7628610ce54a065e0f</id>
<content type='text'>
Since switch to simplefb/simpledrm VESA graphic mode selection with vga=
kernel parameter is no longer available with legacy BIOS.

The x86 realmode boot code enables the VESA graphic modes when option
FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT is enabled.

This option is selected by vesafb but not simplefb/simpledrm.

To enable use of VESA modes with simplefb in legacy BIOS boot mode drop
dependency of BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT on FB, also drop the FB_ prefix. Select
the option from sysfb rather than the drivers that depend on it.

The BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT is not specific to framebuffer but rather to x86
platform, move it from fbdev to x86 Kconfig.

Fixes: e3263ab389a7 ("x86: provide platform-devices for boot-framebuffers")

"sizeof(x)" is the canonical coding style used in arch/x86 most of the time.
Fix the few places that didn't follow the convention.

(Also do some whitespace cleanups in a few places while at it.)

[ mingo: Rewrote the changelog. ]

<title>x86, boot: Create a separate string.h file to provide standard string functions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c041b5ad8640dd89ccf1411cd2636ef7c1cfee92</id>
<content type='text'>
Create a separate arch/x86/boot/string.h file to provide declaration of
some of the common string functions.

By default memcpy, memset and memcmp functions will default to gcc
builtin functions. If code wants to use an optimized version of any
of these functions, they need to #undef the respective macro and link
against a local file providing definition of undefed function.

For example, arch/x86/boot/* code links against copy.S to get memcpy()
and memcmp() definitions. arch/86/boot/compressed/* links against
compressed/string.c.

There are quite a few places in arch/x86/ where these functions are
used. Idea is to try to consilidate  their declaration and possibly
definitions so that it can be reused.

I am planning to reuse boot/string.h in arch/x86/purgatory/ and use
gcc builtin functions for memcpy, memset and memcmp.

Some intcall() misuses the input biosregs as output in
cf06de7b9cdd3efee7a59dced1977b3c21d43732

This fixes the problem vga=ask boot option doesn't show enough modes.

There were a set of pre-Kconfig configuration variables defined in the
video code.  There is absolutely no evidence that they have been
tweaked by anybody in modern history, so just get rid of them and hope
nobody notices.  If someone does complain, these should be made real
Kconfig variables.

Impact: fix potential miscompile (currently believed non-manifest)

As the comment explains, the VBE DDC call can clobber any register.
Tell the compiler about that fact.

These variables are only used in their source files, so make them static.
