This support rely on UEFI to report mirrored memory address ranges. See UEFI 2.5 spec pages 157-158: http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI%202_5.pdf Memory mirroring is a technique used to separate memory into two separate channels, usually on a memory device, like a server. In memory mirroring, one channel is copied to another to create redundancy. This method makes input/output (I/O) registers and memory appear with more than one address range because the same physical byte is accessible at more than one address. Using memory mirroring, higher memory reliability and a higher level of memory consolidation are possible. These EFI memory regions have various attributes, and the "mirrored" attribute is one of them. The physical memory region whose descriptors in EFI memory map has EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE attribute (bit: 16) are mirrored. The address range mirroring feature of the kernel arranges such mirrored regions into normal zones and other regions into movable zones. Arm64 can support this too. So mirrored memory support is added to support arm64. The main purpose of this patch set is to introduce mirrored support for arm64 and we have already fixed the problems we had which is shown in patch #5 to patch #8 and try to bring total isolation in patch #9 which will disable mirror feature if kernelcore is not specified. In order to test this support in arm64: - patch this patch set - add kernelcore=mirror in kernel parameter - start you kernel Patch #1-#2 introduce mirrored memory support form arm64. Patch #3-#5 fix some bugs for arm64 if memory reliable is enabled. Patch #6 disable mirror feature if kernelcore is not specified. Thanks to Ard Biesheuvel's hard work [1], now kernel will perfer mirrored memory if kaslr is enabled.
