Subject: [PATCH] x86/trampoline: fallback to fixed trampoline address if no e820 map is provided
Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 22:19:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201012142219.40062.ffainelli@freebox.fr> (raw)
From: Florian Fainelli <ffainelli@freebox.fr>
Since 893f38d1 (x86: Use find_e820() instead of hard coded trampoline address),
the trampoline base address should be provided by the BIOS as an e820 area.
Some minimalistic BIOSes (like CEFDK on CE4100) may not provide any e820 area,
still we should fallback to a fixed trampoline base address for SMP to work
correctly.
