Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] x86/setup: consolidate early memory reservations
Date: Tue,  2 Mar 2021 12:04:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210302100406.22059-2-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210302100406.22059-1-rppt@kernel.org>

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com>

The early reservations of memory areas used by the firmware, bootloader,
kernel text and data are spread over setup_arch(). Moreover, some of them
happen *after* memblock allocations, e.g trim_platform_memory_ranges() and
trim_low_memory_range() are called after reserve_real_mode() that allocates
memory.

There was no corruption of these memory regions because memblock always
allocates memory either from the end of memory (in top-down mode) or above
the kernel image (in bottom-up mode). However, the bottom up mode is going
to be updated to span the entire memory [1] to avoid limitations caused by
KASLR.

Consolidate early memory reservations in a dedicated function to improve
robustness against future changes. Having the early reservations in one
place also makes it clearer what memory must be reserved before we allow
memblock allocations.
