The firmware will pre-accept the memory used to run the stub. But, the stub is responsible for accepting the memory into which it decompresses the main kernel. Accept memory just before decompression starts. The stub is also responsible for choosing a physical address in which to place the decompressed kernel image. The KASLR mechanism will randomize this physical address. Since the accepted memory region is relatively small, KASLR would be quite ineffective if it only used the pre-accepted area (EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY). Ensure that KASLR randomizes among the entire physical address space by also including EFI_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
