The e820__update_table() parameters are pretty complex: arch/x86/include/asm/e820/api.h:extern int e820__update_table(struct e820_entry *biosmap, int max_nr_map, u32 *pnr_map); But 90% of the usage is trivial: arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: if (e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries)) arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries); arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries); arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: if (e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries) < 0) arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: e820__update_table(boot_params.e820_table, ARRAY_SIZE(boot_params.e820_table), &new_nr); arch/x86/kernel/early-quirks.c: e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries); arch/x86/kernel/setup.c: e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries); arch/x86/kernel/setup.c: e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries); arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c: e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries); arch/x86/xen/setup.c: e820__update_table(xen_e820_table.entries, ARRAY_SIZE(xen_e820_table.entries), arch/x86/xen/setup.c: e820__update_table(e820_table->entries, ARRAY_SIZE(e820_table->entries), &e820_table->nr_entries); arch/x86/xen/setup.c: e820__update_table(xen_e820_table.entries, ARRAY_SIZE(xen_e820_table.entries), as it only uses an exiting struct e820_table's entries array, its size and its current number of entries as input and output arguments. Only one use is non-trivial: arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: e820__update_table(boot_params.e820_table, ARRAY_SIZE(boot_params.e820_table), &new_nr); ... which call updates the E820 table in the zeropage in-situ, and the layout there does not match that of 'struct e820_table' (in particular nr_entries is at a different offset, hardcoded by the boot protocol). Simplify all this by introducing a low level __e820__update_table() API that the zeropage update call can use, and simplifying the main e820__update_table() call signature down to: int e820__update_table(struct e820_table *table); This visibly simplifies all the call sites: arch/x86/include/asm/e820/api.h:extern int e820__update_table(struct e820_table *table); arch/x86/include/asm/e820/types.h: * call to e820__update_table() to remove duplicates. The allowance arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: * The return value from e820__update_table() is zero if it arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:int __init e820__update_table(struct e820_table *table) arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: if (e820__update_table(e820_table)) arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: e820__update_table(e820_table_firmware); arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: e820__update_table(e820_table); arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: e820__update_table(e820_table); arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: if (e820__update_table(e820_table) < 0) arch/x86/kernel/early-quirks.c: e820__update_table(e820_table); arch/x86/kernel/setup.c: e820__update_table(e820_table); arch/x86/kernel/setup.c: e820__update_table(e820_table); arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c: e820__update_table(e820_table); arch/x86/xen/setup.c: e820__update_table(&xen_e820_table); arch/x86/xen/setup.c: e820__update_table(e820_table); arch/x86/xen/setup.c: e820__update_table(&xen_e820_table); No change in functionality.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
