Suggestion: improve a sentence #593

Closed PinoTsao closed 6 years ago

In Kernel booting process. Part 6, section "Physical address randomization", the following sentence does make me pauses for a while and read it many times to get its meaning:

The kernel decompressor should select random index of this array and it will be random place where kernel will be decompressed.

How about: KASLR will select a random index of this array for kernel to be decompressed.

Maybe better will be:

KASLR will select a random index of this array and the kernel will be decompressed to selected memory region

or something like this?
