Subject: [PATCH 27/50] x86/boot/e820: Rename early_reserve_e820() to e820__memblock_alloc() and document it
early_reserve_e820() is an early hack for kexec that does a limited fixup of the
mptable and passes it to the kexec kernel as if it was the real thing.
For this it needs to allocate memory - but no memory allocator is available yet
beyond the memblock allocator, so early_reserve_e820() is really a wrapper
around memblock_alloc() plus a hack to update the e820_table_firmware entries.
The name 'reserve' is really a bit of a misnomer, as 'reserved' memory typically
means memory completely inaccessible to the kernel - while here what we want to do
is a special RAM allocation for our own purposes and insert that as RAM_RESERVED.
Rename the function to e820__memblock_alloc_reserved() to better signal this dual
purpose, plus document it better, which was omitted when it was merged. The barely
comprehensible and cryptic comment:
/*
* pre allocated 4k and reserved it in memblock and e820_table_firmware
*/
u64 __init e820__memblock_alloc_reserved(u64 size, u64 align)
... does not count as documentation, replace it with:
/*
* Allocate the requested number of bytes with the requsted alignment
* and return (the physical address) to the caller. Also register this
* range in the 'firmware' E820 table.
*
* This allows kexec to fake a new mptable, as if it came from the real
* system.
*/
u64 __init e820__memblock_alloc_reserved(u64 size, u64 align)
No change in functionality.
