The memory freeing report wasn't very useful for figuring out which parts of the kernel image were being freed. Add the details for clearer reporting in dmesg. Before: Freeing unused kernel image memory: 1348K Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 20480k Freeing unused kernel image memory: 2040K Freeing unused kernel image memory: 172K After: Freeing unused kernel image (initmem) memory: 1348K Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 20480k Freeing unused kernel image (text/rodata gap) memory: 2040K Freeing unused kernel image (rodata/data gap) memory: 172K Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: "H.

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.
