Re: [PATCH v5 2/3] KASLR: Handle memory limit specified by memmap and mem option

Hi Baoquan,

Option mem= will limit the max address a system can use and any memory
region above the limit will be removed.

Furthermore, memmap=nn[KMG] which has no offset specified has the same
behaviour as mem=.

KASLR needs to consider this when choosing the random position for
decompressing the kernel. Do it now.

Baoquan,

I am not sure about setting the value of mem_limit to mem_size directly.

If the command line has both the "memmap" and "mem", such as
... mem=2G memmap=4G ...

...in that code, the mem_limit may be 4G not 2G.

In my opinion, How about following:

mem_limit = mem_limit > mem_size ? mem_size : mem_limit;

+
continue;
+ }

mem_avoid[MEM_AVOID_MEMMAP_BEGIN + i].start = start;
mem_avoid[MEM_AVOID_MEMMAP_BEGIN + i].size = size;

The same as above.
