ARM shares its EFI stub implementation with arm64, which has some special handling in the virtual remapping code to a) make sure that we can map everything even if the OS executes with 64k page size, and b) make sure that adjacent regions with the same attributes are not reordered or moved apart in memory. The latter is a workaround for a 'feature' that was shortly recommended by UEFI spec v2.5, but deprecated shortly after, due to the fact that it broke many OS installers, including non-Linux ones, and it was never widely implemented for ARM systems. Before implementing b), the arm64 code simply rounded up all regions to 64 KB granularity, but given that that results in moving adjacent regions apart, it had to be refined when b) was implemented. The adjacency check requires a sort() pass, due to the fact that the UEFI spec does not mandate any ordering, and the inclusion of the lib/sort.c code into the ARM EFI stub is causing some trouble with the decompressor build due to the fact that its EXPORT_SYMBOL() call triggers the creation of ksymtab/kcrctab sections. So let's simply do away with the adjacency check for ARM, and simply put all UEFI runtime regions together if they have the same memory attributes. This is guaranteed to work, given that ARM only supports 4 KB pages, and allows us to remove the sort() call entirely.

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.
