From a9166cbdee829d53723cf9324da0951ff9dd6802 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H.J. Lu" Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2016 10:17:09 -0800 Subject: x86/boot: Double BOOT_HEAP_SIZE to 64KB commit 8c31902cffc4d716450be549c66a67a8a3dd479c upstream. When decompressing kernel image during x86 bootup, malloc memory for ELF program headers may run out of heap space, which leads to system halt. This patch doubles BOOT_HEAP_SIZE to 64KB. Tested with 32-bit kernel which failed to boot without this patch. Signed-off-by: H.J. Lu Acked-by: H.
