Subject: [PATCH 4/6] x86/boot: Fix "run_size" calculation

From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@...nel.org>

Currently, the variable "run_size" holds the total kernel size
(size of code plus brk and bss) and is calculated via the shell script
arch/x86/tools/calc_run_size.sh. It gets the file offset and mem size
of the .bss and .brk sections in vmlinux, and adds them as follows:

run_size=$(( $offsetA + $sizeA + $sizeB ))

However, this is not correct (it is too large). To illustrate, here's
a walk-through of the script's calculation, compared to the correct way
to find it.

First, offsetA is found as the starting address of the first .bss or
.brk section seen in the ELF file. The sizeA and sizeB values are the
respective section sizes.

[bhe@x1 linux]$ objdump -h vmlinux

vmlinux:     file format elf64-x86-64

Sections:
Idx Name    Size      VMA               LMA               File off  Algn
 27 .bss    00170000  ffffffff81ec8000  0000000001ec8000  012c8000  2**12
            ALLOC
 28 .brk    00027000  ffffffff82038000  0000000002038000  012c8000  2**0
            ALLOC

Here, offsetA is 0x012c8000, with sizeA at 0x00170000 and sizeB at
0x00027000. The resulting run_size is 0x145f000:

0x012c8000 + 0x00170000 + 0x00027000 = 0x145f000

However, if we instead examine the ELF LOAD program headers, we see a
different picture.

[bhe@x1 linux]$ readelf -l vmlinux

Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
Entry point 0x1000000
There are 5 program headers, starting at offset 64

Program Headers:
  Type        Offset             VirtAddr           PhysAddr
              FileSiz            MemSiz              Flags  Align

 Section to Segment mapping:
  Segment Sections...
   00     .text .notes __ex_table .rodata __bug_table .pci_fixup .tracedata
          __ksymtab __ksymtab_gpl __ksymtab_strings __init_rodata __param

          .altinstructions .altinstr_replacement .iommu_table .apicdrivers
          .exit.text .smp_locks .bss .brk
   04     .notes

As mentioned, run_size needs to be the size of the running kernel
including .bss and .brk. We can see from the Section/Segment mapping
above that .bss and .brk are included in segment 03 (which corresponds
to the final LOAD program header). To find the run_size, we calculate
the end of the LOAD segment from its PhysAddr start (0x0000000001d5e000)
and its MemSiz (0x0000000000301000), minus the physical load address of
the kernel (the first LOAD segment's PhysAddr: 0x0000000001000000). The
resulting run_size is 0x105f000:

0x0000000001d5e000 + 0x0000000000301000 - 0x0000000001000000 = 0x105f000

So, from this we can see that the existing run_size calculation is
0x400000 too high. And, as it turns out, the correct run_size is
actually equal to VO_end - VO_text, which is certainly easier to calculate.
_end: 0xffffffff8205f000
_text:0xffffffff81000000

0xffffffff8205f000 - 0xffffffff81000000 = 0x105f000

As a result, run_size is a simple constant, so we don't need to pass it
around; we already have voffset.h for such things. We can share voffset.h
between misc.c and header.S instead of getting run_size in other ways.
This patch moves voffset.h creation code to boot/compressed/Makefile,
and switches misc.c to use the VO_end - VO_text calculation for run_size.

Dependence before:
boot/header.S ==> boot/voffset.h ==> vmlinux
boot/header.S ==> compressed/vmlinux ==> compressed/misc.c

Dependence after:
boot/header.S ==> compressed/vmlinux ==> compressed/misc.c ==>
                  boot/voffset.h ==> vmlinux
