Subject: [RESEND] [PATCH 2/2] docs: kernel-parameters.txt: document rand_mem_physical_padding parameter
Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2018 09:24:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180821132401.14563-2-msys.mizuma@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180821132401.14563-1-msys.mizuma@gmail.com>
From: Masayoshi Mizuma <m.mizuma@jp.fujitsu.com>
This kernel parameter allows to change the padding used for the physical
memory mapping section when KASLR memory is enabled.
For some systems, the default value, CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY_PHYSICAL_PADDING,
is not enough. The option is useful to adjust the padding size to work
around such issue.
