commita3010a0465upstream. In setup_arch_memory we reserve the memory area wherein the kernel is located. Current implementation may reserve more memory than it actually required in case of CONFIG_LINUX_LINK_BASE is not equal to CONFIG_LINUX_RAM_BASE. This happens because we calculate start of the reserved region relatively to the CONFIG_LINUX_RAM_BASE and end of the region relatively to the CONFIG_LINUX_RAM_BASE. For example in case of HSDK board we wasted 256MiB of physical memory: ------------------->8------------------------------ Memory: 770416K/1048576K available (5496K kernel code, 240K rwdata, 1064K rodata, 2200K init, 275K bss, 278160K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) ------------------->8------------------------------ Fix that.

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.
