From c04028813221c2d39a4f368586795ac4466d311c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2016 09:42:13 -0700 Subject: x86/boot: Clarify purpose of functions in misc.c The function "decompress_kernel" now performs many more duties, so this patch renames it to "extract_kernel" and updates callers and comments. Additionally the file header comment for misc.c is improved to actually describe what is contained.
