Currently, the "run_size" variable holds the total kernel size
(size of code plus brk and bss) and is calculated via the shell script
arch/x86/tools/calc_run_size.sh. It gets the file offset and mem size
of the .bss and .brk sections from the vmlinux, and adds them as follows:
run_size = $(( $offsetA + $sizeA + $sizeB ))
However, this is not correct (it is too large). To illustrate, here's
a walk-through of the script's calculation, compared to the correct way
to find it.
First, offsetA is found as the starting address of the first .bss or
.brk section seen in the ELF file. The sizeA and sizeB values are the
respective section sizes.
[bhe@x1 linux]$ objdump -h vmlinux
vmlinux: file format elf64-x86-64
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
27 .bss 00170000 ffffffff81ec8000 0000000001ec8000 012c8000 2**12
ALLOC
28 .brk 00027000 ffffffff82038000 0000000002038000 012c8000 2**0
ALLOC
Here, offsetA is 0x012c8000, with sizeA at 0x00170000 and sizeB at
0x00027000. The resulting run_size is 0x145f000:
0x012c8000 + 0x00170000 + 0x00027000 = 0x145f000
However, if we instead examine the ELF LOAD program headers, we see a
different picture.
[bhe@x1 linux]$ readelf -l vmlinux
Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
Entry point 0x1000000
There are 5 program headers, starting at offset 64

As mentioned, run_size needs to be the size of the running kernel
including .bss and .brk. We can see from the Section/Segment mapping
above that .bss and .brk are included in segment 03 (which corresponds
to the final LOAD program header). To find the run_size, we calculate
the end of the LOAD segment from its PhysAddr start (0x0000000001d5e000)
and its MemSiz (0x0000000000301000), minus the physical load address of
the kernel (the first LOAD segment's PhysAddr: 0x0000000001000000). The
resulting run_size is 0x105f000:
0x0000000001d5e000 + 0x0000000000301000 - 0x0000000001000000 = 0x105f000
So, from this we can see that the existing run_size calculation is
0x400000 too high. And, as it turns out, the correct run_size is
actually equal to VO_end - VO_text, which is certainly easier to calculate.
_end: 0xffffffff8205f000
_text:0xffffffff81000000
0xffffffff8205f000 - 0xffffffff81000000 = 0x105f000
As a result, run_size is a simple constant, so we don't need to pass it
around; we already have voffset.h for such things. We can share voffset.h
between misc.c and header.S instead of getting run_size in other ways.
This patch moves voffset.h creation code to boot/compressed/Makefile,
and switches misc.c to use the VO_end - VO_text calculation for run_size.
Dependence before:
boot/header.S ==> boot/voffset.h ==> vmlinux
boot/header.S ==> compressed/vmlinux ==> compressed/misc.c
Dependence after:
boot/header.S ==> compressed/vmlinux ==> compressed/misc.c ==> boot/voffset.h ==> vmlinux
