| 2016-04-19 | x86/boot: Rename "real_mode" to "boot_params" | Kees Cook | 1 | -11/+11 | |
| The non-compressed boot code uses the (much more obvious) name "boot_params" for the global pointer to the x86 boot parameters. The compressed kernel loader code, though, was using the legacy name "real_mode". There is no need to have a different name, and changing it improves readability.

| 2016-04-19 | x86/KASLR: Remove unneeded boot_params argument | Yinghai Lu | 1 | -3/+2 | |
| Since the boot_params can be found using the real_mode global variable, there is no need to pass around a pointer to it. This slightly simplifies the choose_kernel_location function and its callers.

| 2016-04-19 | x86/KASLR: Rename aslr.c to kaslr.c | Kees Cook | 1 | -0/+339 | |
| In order to avoid confusion over what this file provides, rename it to kaslr.c since it is used exclusively for the kernel ASLR, not userspace ASLR.
