This patch enables KASLR for Octeon systems. The SMP startup code is such that the secondaries monitor the volatile variable 'octeon_processor_relocated_kernel_entry' for any non-zero value. The 'plat_post_relocation hook' is used to set that value to the kernel entry point of the relocated kernel. The secondary CPUs will then jusmp to the new kernel, perform their initialization again and begin waiting for the boot CPU to start them via the relocated loop 'octeon_spin_wait_boot'.

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.
