Garrett, I pushed your fix about 'adding EfiReservedMemoryType regions to FDT'.
But there is a misinterpretation of the Linux Booting protocol into the other part of your patch. The Linux Boot protocol says: "The image must be placed at the specified offset (currently 0x80000) from the start of the system RAM and called there. The start of the system RAM must be aligned to 2MB." Source: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/booting.txt Your patch tries to load Linux kernel on any 2MB boundary if it fails at 'SystemMemoryBase + 0x80000' - which is wrong. If it fails at 'SystemMemoryBase + 0x80000' then it should just abort Linux loading. Thanks, Olivier From: Kirkendall, Garrett [mailto:garrett.kirkend...@amd.com] Sent: 17 February 2014 17:04 To: edk2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [edk2] [PATCH] ArmPkg/Library/BdsLib: Fix Linux kernel load when 1st call to BdsLoadImage fails. Dear ArmPkg maintainers, Please consider the attached patch that handles loading the Linux kernel when the first call to BdsLoadImage fails. Also, it makes sure that the PSCI disabled processor holding pen can be allocated when loading the kernel image.
