I rebuilt the code or change the one of the replacement back, hang never
seen again. Not sure if I copied the wrong kernel or any other mistakes.
Have got a hardware system with efi enabled to try again, see if

Sorry, NACK this series, there's error to hang system. Before I just
halt system intentionally with error() to check the efi memmap printing,
didn't notice this. Checking the cause.

Re: [PATCH v8 0/2] x86/boot/KASLR: Restrict kernel to be randomized in mirror regions

2017-08-04 Thread Baoquan He

halt system intentionally with error() to check the efi memmap printing,
didn't notice this. Checking the cause.
