Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Documentation/x86/boot: Correct algorithm for runtime start address
Date: Sun, 7 Mar 2021 22:22:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210307142251.797-1-adrianhuang0701@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Adrian Huang <ahuang12@lenovo.com>
Commit 8ab3820fd5b2 ("x86, kaslr: Return location from decompress_kernel")
enforces CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as the minimum relocation address when
the kernel option CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled. This change should be
included accordingly.

The kernel runtime start address is determined by the following algorithm::
- if (relocatable_kernel)
- runtime_start = align_up(load_address, kernel_alignment)
- else
- runtime_start = pref_address
+ if (relocatable_kernel) {
+ runtime_start = align_up(load_address, kernel_alignment);
