On arm64, we have made some changes over the past year to the way the kernel itself is allocated and to how it deals with the initrd and FDT. This patch brings the allocation logic in the EFI stub in line with that, which is necessary because the introduction of KASLR has created the possibility for the initrd to be allocated in a place where the kernel may not be able to map it. (This is mostly a theoretical scenario, since it only affects systems where the physical memory footprint exceeds the size of the linear mapping.) Since we know the kernel itself will be covered by the linear mapping, choose a suitably sized window (i.e., based on the size of the linear region) covering the kernel when allocating memory for the initrd. The FDT may be anywhere in memory on arm64 now that we map it via the fixmap, so we can lift the address restriction there completely.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
