From 82434d23f36de42f70925f70d645ed3b1394361b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2019 18:29:08 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot/compressed/64: Explain paging_prepare()'s return value paging_prepare() returns a two-quadword structure which lands into RDX:RAX: - Address of the trampoline is returned in RAX. - Non zero RDX means trampoline needs to enable 5-level paging.
