Create realmode.bin and realmode.relocs files. Piggy
pack them into relocatable object that will be included
into .init.data section of the main kernel image.

The first file includes binary image of the real-mode code.
The latter file includes all relocations. The layout of the
binary image is specified in realmode.lds.S. The makefile
generates pa_ prefixed symbols for each exported global.
These are used in 32-bit code and in realmode header to
define symbols that need to be relocated.

<title>net: filter: Just In Time compiler for x86-64</title>

In order to speedup packet filtering, here is an implementation of a
JIT compiler for x86_64

It is disabled by default, and must be enabled by the admin.

echo 1 &gt;/proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

It uses module_alloc() and module_free() to get memory in the 2GB text
kernel range since we call helpers functions from the generated code.

EAX : BPF A accumulator
EBX : BPF X accumulator
RDI : pointer to skb   (first argument given to JIT function)
RBP : frame pointer (even if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n)
r9d : skb-&gt;len - skb-&gt;data_len (headlen)
r8  : skb-&gt;data

To get a trace of generated code, use :

echo 2 &gt;/proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

Example of generated code :

# tcpdump -p -n -s 0 -i eth1 host 192.168.20.0/24

flen=18 proglen=147 pass=3 image=ffffffffa00b5000

BPF program is 144 bytes long, so native program is almost same size ;)

x86 has finally arrived in the embedded nightmare and will rapidly
grow SoC platform support in various flavours. So we need a place for
the platform support files. That also allows us to clean up the
dumpground which arch/x86/kernel has become over time.

Introducing this Kbuild file allow us to:

    make arch/x86/

And thus building all the core part of x86.
