Merge remote-tracking branch 'zytor/master' into merge/elflink/master

2012-05-31T12:45:42+00:00

A lot of development has gone on in the 'master' branch since the last
time we merged; new features, bug fixes, etc, etc.

pxe: move hardwired DHCP options into high memory

2012-05-29T19:22:32+00:00

If we have hardwired DHCP options, move them into high memory instead
of into the trackbuf.  This eliminates yet another trackbuf user.

core: add support for .init/fini_table

2012-05-29T04:39:40+00:00

We don't actually have any constructors/destructors in the core at
this time, but handle .init/fini_table in case that happens...

core: Delete the aux segment

2012-03-23T16:34:41+00:00

We don't need to use a special aux segment because we can represent
'fontbuf' with OFFS() and SEG(). We're guaranteed to be able to break
the 32-bit pointer up with these macros because we control where in
the address space the core is loaded. (Not all 32-bit pointers can be
represented with OFFS() and SEG(), only addresses in the range
0..0xFFFFF.)

This fixes the breakage that was introduced in commit 14531c47bc95
("core: Delete code that is duplicated in ldlinux").

This allows the default font to be displayed. Previously junk was
being returned in the COMBOOT API call to query the userfont, leading
the caller to believe that a user font was installed even when it
wasn't.

ld: Use ABSOLUTE() when taking differences between relative symbols

2011-04-01T19:59:04+00:00

binutils 2.21.51.0.6, and possibly other versions, generate the wrong
result when subtracting two section-relative symbols (the final result
ends up having the base of the section incorrectly added to it.)  Work
around this by using ABSOLUTE() on the symbols to force the result to
become absolute.

syslinux.ld: ld 2.20.51 seems to want .bss16 explicitly (NOLOAD)

2010-12-14T17:51:33+00:00

ld 2.20.51 seems to want the .bss16 explicitly marked (NOLOAD).  We do
that for most of the other bss sections, so we might as well.

syslinux.ld: remove redundant definition of STACK32_LEN

2010-06-27T03:37:37+00:00

STACK32_LEN is already defined in layout.inc.

syslinux.ld: don't pad between .got and .data

2010-05-13T04:22:14+00:00

Adding padding between .got and .data is unnecessary, and can
cause spurious decompression failures when .data is empty (which it
almost is already...)
