After the EFI stub has done its business, it jumps into the kernel by branching to offset #0 of the loaded Image, which is where it expects to find the header containing a 'branch to stext' instruction. However, the header is not covered by any PE/COFF section, so the header may not actually be loaded at the expected offset. So instead, jump to 'stext' directly, which is at the base of the PE/COFF .text section, by supplying a symbol 'stext_offset' to efi-entry.o which contains the relative offset of stext into the Image. Also replace other open coded calculations of the same value with a reference to 'stext_offset' Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/arm64/kernel/efi-entry.S | 3 ++- arch/arm64/kernel/head.S | 10 ++++++---- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/efi-entry.S b/arch/arm64/kernel/efi-entry.S index 619b1dd7bcde..a0016d3a17da 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/efi-entry.S +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/efi-entry.S @@ -61,7 +61,8 @@ ENTRY(efi_stub_entry) */ mov x20, x0 // DTB address ldr x0, [sp, #16] // relocated _text address - mov x21, x0 + ldr x21, =stext_offset + add x21, x0, x21 /* * Flush dcache covering current runtime addresses diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/head.S b/arch/arm64/kernel/head.S index a2c1195abb7f..78ddae28b090 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/head.S +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/head.S @@ -137,6 +137,8 @@ efi_head: #endif #ifdef CONFIG_EFI + .globl stext_offset + .set stext_offset, stext - efi_head .align 3 pe_header: .ascii "PE" @@ -160,7 +162,7 @@ optional_header: .long 0 // SizeOfInitializedData .long 0 // SizeOfUninitializedData .long efi_stub_entry - efi_head // AddressOfEntryPoint - .long stext - efi_head // BaseOfCode + .long stext_offset // BaseOfCode extra_header_fields: .quad 0 // ImageBase @@ -177,7 +179,7 @@ extra_header_fields: .long _edata - efi_head // SizeOfImage // Everything before the kernel image is considered part of the header - .long stext - efi_head // SizeOfHeaders + .long stext_offset // SizeOfHeaders .long 0 // CheckSum .short 0xa // Subsystem (EFI application) .short 0 // DllCharacteristics @@ -222,9 +224,9 @@ section_table: .byte 0 .byte 0 // end of 0 padding of section name .long _edata - stext // VirtualSize - .long stext - efi_head // VirtualAddress + .long stext_offset // VirtualAddress .long _edata - stext // SizeOfRawData - .long stext - efi_head // PointerToRawData + .long stext_offset // PointerToRawData .long 0 // PointerToRelocations (0 for executables) .long 0 // PointerToLineNumbers (0 for executables) -- 1.8.3.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
