Series | implement KASLR for powerpc/fsl_booke/32 | expand |
Hi Scott, Can you test v7 to see if it works to load a kernel at a non-zero address?

And you have a board with 12G memory, CONFIG_LOWMEM_CAM_NUM=3 means only 192M memory is mapped and when kernel is randomized at the middle of this 192M memory, we will not have enough continuous memory for node map. Can you set CONFIG_LOWMEM_CAM_NUM=8 and see if it works?
