delta/syslinux.git/core/cpuinit.inc, branch syslinux-3.84 git.kernel.org: pub/scm/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git a20: remove DO_WBINVD configurable 2009-04-21T23:16:32+00:00 H. Peter Anvin hpa@linux.intel.com 2009-04-21T23:16:32+00:00 b558a3e68fe65960f83b8372b2795b3ba58fa0d2 We haven't enabled DO_WBINVD for a very long time. A20 is implemented on the inside of the L1 cache for 486+ (and 386 didn't have WBINVD), so an I/O delay is the only thing we can rely on anyway. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>

shuffler: first cut of a simpler shuffle routine 2009-03-31T15:59:00+00:00 H. Peter Anvin hpa@zytor.com 2009-03-31T15:59:00+00:00 35dda1ebbb0c58dc76e3b534611c3bdcb06e2248 Impact: major restructuring New shuffler routine which runs entirely in protected mode, unlike the old one which would enter PM for the bcopy phase only. This is not only faster, but it greatly reduces the size of the shuffler "critical area". The interfaces to this new shuffler are not yet implemented, so this is a non-functional checkpoint.

Impact: major restructuring

New shuffler routine which runs entirely in protected mode, unlike the
old one which would enter PM for the bcopy phase only.  This is not
only faster, but it greatly reduces the size of the shuffler "critical
area".  The interfaces to this new shuffler are not yet implemented,
so this is a non-functional checkpoint.

Move files out of root into core, dos, and utils 2008-05-29T22:11:38+00:00 H.

The Syslinux core now lives in core/; the Linux and generic utilities has moved into utils/, and copybs.com has moved into dos/; it had to go somewhere, and it seemed as good a place as any.
