Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ARM: decompressor: relax the loading restriction of the decompressed kernel
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2020 17:26:41 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200928092641.2070-3-thunder.leizhen@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200928092641.2070-1-thunder.leizhen@huawei.com>
mov r4, pc
and r4, r4, #0xf8000000 //truncated to 128MiB boundary
add r4, r4, #TEXT_OFFSET //PA(_start)
Currently, the decompressed kernel must be placed at the position: 128MiB
boundary + TEXT_OFFSET. This limitation is just because we masked PC with
0xf80000000. Actually, we can directly obtain PA(_start) by using formula
: VA(_start) + (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET).
So the "PA(_start) - TEXT_OFFSET" can be 2MiB boundary, 1MiB boundary,
and so on.
