[PATCHv3 5/7] x86/mm: Reserve unaccepted memory bitmap

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Fri Jan 28 2022 - 15:59:45 EST


A given page of memory can only be accepted once. The kernel has a need
to accept memory both in the early decompression stage and during normal
runtime.

Use a bitmap to communicate the acceptance state of each page between
the decompression stage and normal runtime. This eliminates the
possibility of attempting to double-accept a page.

Allocate the bitmap during decompression stage and hand it over to the
main kernel image via boot_params.

In the runtime kernel, reserve the bitmap's memory to ensure nothing
overwrites it.
