[GIT PULL] EFI urgent fixes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Guys, please pull the following. One of the fixes is for a regression
introduced during the merge window. The other two are bugs that have
existed in the EFI boot stub for a while, but which have only just been
reported.

I'm going to take care of submitting the later two to stable separately
because they won't apply cleanly as-is.

The following changes since commit 204b0a1a4b92612c957a042df1a3be0e9cc79391:

  x86, efi: Abstract x86 efi_early calls (2014-03-26 11:30:03 -0700)

are available in the git repository at:

  efi: Pass correct file handle to efi_file_{read,close} (2014-04-10 21:20:03 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
 * Fix EFI boot regression introduced during the merge window where the
   firmware was reading random values from the stack because we were
   passing a pointer to the wrong object type.

 * Kernel corruption has been reported when booting with the EFI boot
   stub which was tracked down to setting a bogus value for
   bp->hdr.code32_start, resulting in corruption during relocation.

 * Olivier Martin reported that the wrong file handles were being passed
   to efi_file_(read|close), which works for x86 by luck due to the way
   that the FAT driver is implemented, but doesn't work on ARM.
