This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled x86/boot: Double BOOT_HEAP_SIZE to 64KB to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt24. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From 4b9cc54a5f84ac0813b4188a3525bae9ca664bb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H.J. Lu" <hjl.tools@gmail.com> 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 <hjl.tools@gmail.com> Acked-by: H.
