Normally - for regular kernels this value is 0x100000 (1MB). But in the case - of kexec on panic the fail safe kernel needs to run at a different - address than the panic-ed kernel. This option is used to set the load - address for kernels used to capture crash dump on being kexec'ed - after panic. The default value for crash dump kernels is - 0x1000000 (16MB). This can also be set based on the "X" value as - specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter - passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as - crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at - Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps. + This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address + where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an + address which meets above alignment restriction. + + If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and + CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest + address aligned to above value and run from there. + + If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and + CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time + load address and decompress itself to the address it has been + compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is + compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the + end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting + above alignment restrictions. Don't change this unless you know what you are doing. diff --git a/arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.S b/arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.S index e4dd7a6b9b0f..f395a4bb38bb 100644 --- a/arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.S +++ b/arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.S @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ #include <linux/linkage.h> #include <asm/segment.h> #include <asm/page.h> +#include <asm/boot.h> .section ".text.head" .globl startup_32 @@ -52,17 +53,17 @@ startup_32: 1: popl %ebp subl $1b, %ebp -/* Compute the delta between where we were compiled to run at - * and where the code will actually run at. +/* %ebp contains the address we are loaded at by the boot loader and %ebx + * contains the address where we should move the kernel image temporarily + * for safe in-place decompression. */ - /* Start with the delta to where the kernel will run at.
