Multiboot v1 memory map offset wrong
I'm developping a multiboot kernel for multiboot v1
My multiboot header contains the V1 magic (0x1BADB002) and the flags 0x00010243 (with enabled memory detection, and boot loader name)
When booted in multiboot,
Qemu gives me two pointers:
unsigned long mmap_length;
unsigned long mmap_addr;
mmap_addr shall points to this structure:
struct multiboot_mmap_entry
{
multiboot_uint32_t size;
multiboot_uint64_t addr;
multiboot_uint64_t len;
multiboot_uint32_t type;
}
According to the multiboot v1 specification, mmap_addr should not point to the start of this structure, but instead, should point to the "addr "field.
Work-arround:
Detect if qemu is used using bootloader_name field.
If it is, do NOT apply a -4 offset to mmap_addr
