Hang on, which kernel are you referring to here? The boot kernel or the kexec'd kernel? I thought you were saying you noticed the overlap when running in the second (kexec'd) kernel? The only reason that you would see this overlap in the first (boot) kernel is if the bootloader messed up and allocated the kernel text as EfiBootServicesCode/Data. I'd like to believe no bootloaders are still doing that. -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
