Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
afc18069a2
kexec_file_load() currently reuses the old boot_params.screen_info, but if drivers have change the hardware state, boot_param.screen_info could contain invalid info. For example, the video type might be no longer VGA, or the frame buffer address might be changed. If the kexec kernel keeps using the old screen_info, kexec'ed kernel may attempt to write to an invalid framebuffer memory region. There are two screen_info instances globally available, boot_params.screen_info and screen_info. Later one is a copy, and is updated by drivers. So let kexec_file_load use the updated copy.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
