  • 200001eb1   x86 boot: only pick up additional EFI memmap if add_efi_memmap flag ... Browse Code »

    Applies on top of the previous patch:
    x86 boot: add code to add BIOS provided EFI memory entries to kernel

    Instead of always adding EFI memory map entries (if present) to the
    memory map after initially finding either E820 BIOS memory map entries
    and/or kernel command line memmap entries, -instead- only add such
    additional EFI memory map entries if the kernel boot option:

    add_efi_memmap

    is specified.

    Requiring this 'add_efi_memmap' option is backward compatible with
    kernels that didn't load such additional EFI memory map entries in
    the first place, and it doesn't override a configuration that tries
    to replace all E820 or EFI BIOS memory map entries with ones given
    entirely on the kernel command line.

  • 23deb0682   x86: move x86-specific documentation into Documentation/x86 ... Browse Code »

    The current organization of the x86 documentation makes it appear as
    if the "i386" documentation doesn't apply to x86-64, which is does.
    Thus, move that documentation into Documentation/x86, and move the
    x86-64-specific stuff into Documentation/x86/x86_64 with the eventual
    goal to move stuff that isn't actually 64-bit specific back into
    Documentation/x86.
