x86/boot: Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header

jgross1 · Ingo Molnar · commit ae7e1238e68f · 2018-10-10T10:44:22.000+02:00
Xen PVH guests receive the address of the RSDP table from Xen. In order to support booting a Xen PVH guest via Grub2 using the standard x86 boot entry we need a way for Grub2 to pass the RSDP address to the kernel. For this purpose expand the struct setup_header to hold the physical address of the RSDP address. Being zero means it isn't specified and has to be located the legacy way (searching through low memory or EBDA). While documenting the new setup_header layout and protocol version 2.14 add the missing documentation of protocol version 2.13. There are Grub2 versions in several distros with a downstream patch violating the boot protocol by writing past the end of setup_header. This requires another update of the boot protocol to enable the kernel to distinguish between a specified RSDP address and one filled with garbage by such a broken Grub2. From protocol 2.14 on Grub2 will write the version it is supporting (but never a higher value than found to be supported by the kernel) ored with 0x8000 to the version field of setup_header. This enables the kernel to know up to which field Grub2 has written information to. All fields after that are supposed to be clobbered.
