[PATCH 3/4] x86: reserve range near the ram

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

 



From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The point is to take all RAM resources we have, and 
_after_ we've added all the resources we've seen in the E820 tree, we then 
_also_ try to add fake reserved entries for any "round up to X" at the end 
of the RAM resources.

[ Impact: protect stolen RAM ]
