[PATCH 2/2] arm64/efi: use efi_low_alloc() with offset to allocate kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now that efi_low_alloc() supports an offset parameter, we can use it
to allocate memory for the kernel at TEXT_OFFSET bytes above a 2 MB
aligned boundary directly. This prevents issues when the base of
DRAM is at 0x0, which efi_low_alloc() refuses to use as the address
of an allocation. It also helps when fewer than TEXT_OFFSET bytes are
occupied by the firmware at the base of DRAM, since efi_low_alloc()
will now do the rounding for us, and return 'base of DRAM + TEXT_OFFSET'
directly, regardless of whether any regions below it are in use.
