Kirill A. Shutemov 3548e131ec x86/boot/compressed/64: Find a place for 32-bit trampoline
If a bootloader enables 64-bit mode with 4-level paging, we might need to
switch over to 5-level paging. The switching requires the disabling of
paging, which works fine if kernel itself is loaded below 4G.

But if the bootloader puts the kernel above 4G (not sure if anybody does
this), we would lose control as soon as paging is disabled, because the
code becomes unreachable to the CPU.

To handle the situation, we need a trampoline in lower memory that would
take care of switching on 5-level paging.

This patch finds a spot in low memory for a trampoline.

The heuristic is based on code in reserve_bios_regions().

We find the end of low memory based on BIOS and EBDA start addresses.
The trampoline is put just before end of low memory. It's mimic approach
taken to allocate memory for realtime trampoline.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
