[ Upstream commit ba88829706e2c5b7238638fc2b0713edf596495e ] When booting as a Xen PV dom0 the memory layout of the dom0 is modified to match that of the host, as this requires less changes in the kernel for supporting Xen. There are some cases, though, which are problematic, as it is the Xen hypervisor selecting the kernel's load address plus some other data, which might conflict with the host's memory map. These conflicts are detected at boot time and result in a boot error. In order to support handling at least some of these conflicts in future, introduce a generic helper function which will later gain the ability to adapt the memory layout when possible. Add the missing check for the xen_start_info area. Note that possible p2m map and initrd memory conflicts are handled already by copying the data to memory areas not conflicting with the memory map. The initial stack allocated by Xen doesn't need to be checked, as early boot code is switching to the statically allocated initial kernel stack. Initial page tables and the kernel itself will be handled later.

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.
