Thanks for check that out.

That is not arbitrary number. Need to make that bigger than _end - _rodata

> objdump -t arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux | grep \ _end
0000000000996000 g       .pgtable    0000000000000000 _end
> objdump -t arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux | grep \ _rodata
0000000000981780 g       .rodata    0000000000000000 _rodata

We only get that size after arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux

but need number during building kernel vmlinux.

other way would be just increase init_size in arch/x86/boot/header.S
instead of put it BRK area.

Thanks

Yinghai
