Peter Anvin" <hpa@...or.com>, Jacob Shin <jacob.shin@....com>, Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Yinghai Lu <yinghai@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH -v3 09/14] x86: if kernel .text .data .bss are not marked as E820_RAM, complain and fix From: Jacob Shin <jacob.shin@....com> There could be cases where user supplied memmap=exactmap memory mappings do not mark the region where the kernel .text .data and .bss reside as E820_RAM, as reported here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/14/86 Handle it by complaining, and adding the range back into the e820.
