[RFC Resend] arm:extend __init_end to a page align address

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

 



this patch change the __init_end address to a page align address, so that free_initmem()
can free the whole .init section, because if the end address is not page aligned,
it will round down to a page align address, then the tail unligned page will not be freed.
