[PATCH 3/8] bootwrapper: occuppied memory ranges

Milton Miller miltonm at bga.com
Wed Apr 11 18:32:56 EST 2007


Here is a set of library routines to manage gross memory allocations.

It uses an array in bss to store upto 32 entrys with merging representing
a range of memory below rmo_end (aka end of real mode memory at 0).

To use this code, set rmo_end to the highest address (32 bits) you can
access and wish to manage.   Then follow with calls to occupy memory,
followed by calls init_malloc for fine grain allocation.

Also, an optional vmlinux_alloc with hooks into the smp marshaling code.
