Subject: [PATCH 3/14] uml: physical memory shouldn't include initial stack
Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2008 16:14:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080805201404.GA11782@c2.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)
>From 60a2988aea701a6424809a5432bf068667aac177
The top of physical memory should be below the initial process stack, not the
top of the address space, at least for as long as the stack isn't known to the
kernel VM system and appropriately reserved.
