From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org (Ard Biesheuvel) Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2016 18:56:39 +0100 Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] arm64 initrd mapping/relocation Message-ID: <1454435802-7604-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org After discussing in linux-efi with Mark, and on #armlinux with Will, this is a proposal for dealing with initrd memory that is potentially not covered by the linear region. Note that this will look slightly differently when some of the KASLR work gets merged, but this should only affect the way we deal with the initrd if it sits outside of the linear region. Mostly intended for discussion, not tested at all. Ard Biesheuvel (3): memblock: add routine to clear the MEMBLOCK_NOMAP flag for a region arm64: add the initrd region to the linear mapping explicitly arm64: remove the now unneeded relocate_initrd() arch/arm64/kernel/setup.c | 64 -------------------- arch/arm64/mm/init.c | 16 ++++- include/linux/memblock.h | 1 + mm/memblock.c | 12 ++++ 4 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 66 deletions(-) -- 2.5.0
