Subject: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/4] x86: Remove 16M total-size restriction
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2020 17:50:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200113175020.32730-1-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)
It turns out that the note in c/s a8d27a54cc9cc
Finally, leave a linker assert covering the fact that plenty of code blindly
assumes that Xen is less that 16M. This wants fixing in due course.
was easier to address than I had originally anticipated. This series does so.
The end result can be tested by trying to boot with:
diff --git a/xen/arch/x86/setup.c b/xen/arch/x86/setup.c
index 759827a19a..fa83a9a28f 100644
--- a/xen/arch/x86/setup.c

static bool __initdata opt_nosmp;
boolean_param("nosmp", opt_nosmp);
Before this series, Xen will triple fault in one of several places (first and
most obviously, __high_start on the first stack access, as cpu0_stack[] is
very near the end of Xen's linked image).
