+ * In theroy, KASLR can put the kernel anywhere in area of [16M, 64T). The
+ * mem_avoid array is used to store the ranges that need to be avoided when
+ * KASLR searches for a an appropriate random address. We must avoid any
+ * regions that are unsafe to overlap with during decompression, and other
+ * things like the initrd, cmdline and boot_params.
+ *
+ * How to calculate the unsafe areas is detailed here, and is informed by
+ * the decompression calculations in header.S, and the diagram in misc.c.
+ *
+ * The compressed vmlinux (ZO) plus relocs and the run space of ZO can't be
+ * overwritten by decompression output.
+ *
+ * ZO sits against the end of the decompression buffer, so we can calculate
+ * where text, data, bss, etc of ZO are positioned.
+ *
+ * The follow are already enforced by the code:
+ * - init_size >= kernel_total_size
+ * - input + input_len >= output + output_len
+ * - kernel_total_size could be >= or < output_len
+ *
+ * From this, we can make several observations, illustrated by a diagram:
+ * - init_size >= kernel_total_size
+ * - input + input_len > output + output_len
+ * - kernel_total_size >= output_len
+ *
+ * 0 output input input+input_len output+init_size

+ *
+ * [output, output+init_size) is for the buffer for decompressing the
+ * compressed kernel (ZO).
+ *
+ * [output, output+kernel_total_size) is for the uncompressed kernel (VO)
+ * and its bss, brk, etc.
+ * [output, output+output_len) is VO plus relocs
+ *
+ * [output+init_size-ZO_INIT_SIZE, output+init_size) is the copied ZO.
+ * [input, input+input_len) is the copied compressed (VO (vmlinux after
+ * objcopy) plus relocs), not the ZO.
+ *
+ * [input+input_len, output+init_size) is [_text, _end) for ZO. That was the
+ * first range in mem_avoid, which included ZO's heap and stack. Also
+ * [input, input+input_size) need be put in mem_avoid array, but since it
+ * is adjacent to the first entry, they can be merged. This is how we get
+ * the first entry in mem_avoid[].
