Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot: minor improvement in kaslr
Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2019 13:48:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190201054853.28541-1-caoj.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

comments fix: input_size is ZO image size which just don't count .bss
in, but has .text, .data, etc;
drop unecessary alignment: minimum is either 512M or output, both are
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN aligned(output is aligned in head_32/64.S). But
mention it in earlier comments.
