+**** DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF FIELDS
+
+ entry32_off:
+ The unsigned offset of the 32bit entry point from the real
+ mode kernel. For boot protocols 2.03 or earlier, this field is
+ not present, and there is no 32bit entry point.
+
+ The 32bit entry point is a mechanism for entering the kernel
+ without doing 16bit PC BIOS calls. Very useful for systems
+ with alternative firmware implementations.
+
+ A bootloader using the 32bit entry point should verify that
+ there are real_memsz bytes available at real_base (real_base
+ remains relocatable in bzImages). And that there kern_memsz
+ bytes available at kern_base. For zImages you should also
+ verify that there are kernel_memsz bytes available at
+ kernel_base.
+
+ Verifing there is enough memory for the kernel to load is
+ necessary for using the 32bit entry point, and suggested for
+ the 16bit entry point. In the case of the 32bit entry point
+ the kernel has no ability to talk to whatever weird firmware you
+ have until it is fully loaded.
+
+ The 32bit entry point makes the following assumptions. You
+ are calling it protected mode. Paging is disabled. All
+ segment registers are loaded with a 32bit segment with a base
+ of 0, and a limit of 0xFFFFFFFF (limitless). Either %esp == 0
+ and you are using the default real_base or %esp points to a
+ stack large enough to hold at least 12 new bytes of data.
+
+
+ internal_cmdline_off:
+ The offset of the null terminated compiled in command line
+ from the real mode kernel. For boot protocols 2.03 or
+ earlier this field is not present, and there is no built in
+ command line. The memory from internal_cmdline_off to
+ real_filesz is reserved for the compiled in command_line. An
+ external utility may modify this command line.
+
+ To change the maximum size of the compiled in command line several
+ variables need to be modified. real_filesz to indicate the
+ new maximum size. setup_sects to indicate if the number of
+ sectors needed for the realmode kernel changes.
+
+ A heap is maintained between real_filesz and real_memsz/heap_end_ptr.
+ Increasing the size of the heap is not a problem, decreasing
+ it is. So when changing the real_filesz, real_memsz and
+ heap_end_ptr should also be changed.
+
+ input_addr/input_len:
+ The kernel is loaded into memory in compressed form.
+ input_addr is the location where the compressed data is
+ loaded, and input_len is the count of how many bytes of
+ compressed data there are.
+
+ These two variables allow an external program to inspect a
+ bzImage and find the compressed data. This is mostly of use
+ to build.c as it computes output_overhang but other programs
+ may find it useful as well.
+
+ output_overhang:
+ Most decompression algorithms may transformed into near
+ in-place algorithms by simply overlapping the compressed data
+ and the decompressed data buffers. For a particular
+ decompression algorithm then the question becomes how much
+ overlap is safe. More practically how much must the
+ compressed data stick out from the end of the decompressed
+ data buffer for this technique to work.
+
+ output_overhang is that amount the compressed data buffer
+ must extend beyond the decompressed data buffer for
+ decompression in place to work for the linux kernel.
+
+ build.c is responsible for computing this number. For
+ gzip typically this number is 8 (file length and checksum).
+ But in pathological cases it may be worse.
+
+ real_base, real_memsz, real_filesz,
+ kern_base, kern_memsz, kern_filesz,
+ kernel_base, kernel_memsz, kernel_filesz,
+ unzip_memsz, unzip_filesz,
+
+ Up to this point building a zImage or a bzImage has been a
+ very lossy process. The introduction of these variables
+ attempts to rectify that situation. They document exactly
+ which pieces of memory, the kernel uses during the boot
+ process, and they indicate exactly how large the various data
+ segments of the kernel are. It is now possible to create a
+ lossless transformation to and from a static ELF executable.
+
+ Program segments are described with 3 variables. The base
+ address where the segment is loaded in memory. The file size
+ which records the amount of data in the input file that is
+ loaded into memory. The memory size which is greater than or
+ equal to the file size and records how much memory this
+ program segment consumes.
+
+ base +-----------+
+ | code/data |
+ filesz +-----------+
+ | bss |
+ memsz +-----------+
+
+ The real program segment (real_base, real_filesz, real_memsz)
+ describes the memory usage of the real mode code from 4KB to
+ 640KB. The real code segment and the command line must be
+ located somewhere in this range.
+
+ The compressed kernel segment (kern_base, kern_filesz,
+ kern_memsz) describes the memory usage of the compressed
+ kernel. For a zImage this is memory below 1MB for a bzImage
+ this is memory starting at 1MB.
+
+ For bzImages it is sufficient to look at the real program
+ segment, and the compressed kernel segment to get the entire
+ boottime memory usage of the kernel. real_memsz is increased
+ to also document the decompressors real memory usage, and the
+ kern_memsz value is increased to document the decompressed
+ kernels memory usage.
+
+ You can look at heap_end_ptr to get the actual memory
+ footprint of the real mode segment. Just the decompressors
+ memory footprint is kern_base + kernel_filesz +
+ output_overhang, if unzip_memsz bytes are available of real
+ memory, and kern_base + kernel_filesz + output_overhang +
+ unzip_memsz bytes otherwise.
+
+ The decompressed kernel segment (kernel_base, kernel_filesz,
+ kernel_memsz) describes the memory usage of the decompresed
+ kernel (essentially vmlinux).
+
+ The decompressor segment (load_address, unzip_filesz, unzip_memsz)
+ describes the memory usage of the kernel decompressor,
+ not counting the compressed data.
+
+ The real program segment describes memory in the range
+ 4KB (0x1000) to 640KB (0xa0000) that the real mode kernel
+ uses. real_base may be moved lower or higher in memory if
+ there is a memory conflict with another address. When doing
+ so the following considerations should apply.
+
+ For a zImage the range [real_base, real_base +
+ real_memsz) should not overlap the range [ kern_base,
+ kern_base + kern_memsz].
+
+ Ensure that the range [real_base, real_base +
+ real_memsz) is within the range [ 0x1000, 0xa0000).
+
+ With this information it becomes safe to statically relocate
+ the real mode kernel as well as to dynamically relocate the
+ real_mode kernel.
