PATCH 3/8 kexec jump: check code size in control page

Kexec/Kexec-jump require code size in control page is less than PAGE_SIZE/2. This patch add link-time checking for this.

ASSERT() of ld link script is used as the link-time checking mechanism.

Hi Huang,

Above comment is not very clear. Can you please elaborate it. I thought that PAGE_SIZE/2 is used for control code and rest half is shared between kjump data and stack. What is PAGE_SIZE *3/4?

Will it make sense to move it into vmlinux_32.lds.S itself? Creating a separate file for a single check seems superfluous.

Thanks
Vivek

Yes. Rest half is shared between kjump data and stack. I will change it.

I hope other ones can use it. But for now, put it in vmlinux_32.lds.S is better. I will change it.
