Subject: [PATCH] ppc64: Reduce number of ELF LOAD segments
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The number of program header table entries (e_phnum) is an Elf64_Half,
|
||
|
|
which is a 16-bit entity, i.e. the limit is 65534 entries (one entry is
|
||
|
|
reserved for NOTE). This is a hard limit, defined by the ELF standard.
|
||
|
|
It is possible that more LMBs (Logical Memory Blocks) are needed to
|
||
|
|
represent all RAM on some machines, and this field overflows, causing
|
||
|
|
an incomplete /proc/vmcore file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This has actually happened on a machine with 31TB of RAM and an LMB size
|
||
|
|
of 256MB.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, since there is usually no memory hole between adjacent LMBs, the
|
||
|
|
map can be "compressed", combining multiple adjacent into a single LOAD
|
||
|
|
segment.
