Currently, arm64, RISC-V and LoongArch rely on the fact that struct screen_info can be accessed directly, due to the fact that the EFI stub and the core kernel are part of the same image. This will change after a future patch, so let's ensure that the screen_info handling is able to deal with this, by adopting the arm32 approach of passing it as a configuration table. While at it, switch to ACPI reclaim memory to hold the screen_info data, which is more appropriate for this kind of allocation. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
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.
