[PATCH 2/3 -v4] kexec/i386: allocate page table pages dynamically

Huang Ying ying.huang at intel.com
Thu Oct 30 21:48:08 EDT 2008


This patch adds an architecture specific struct kimage_arch into
struct kimage. The pointers to page table pages used by kexec are
added to struct kimage_arch. The page tables pages are dynamically
allocated in machine_kexec_prepare instead of statically from BSS
segment. This will save up to 20k memory when kexec image is not
loaded.
