[PATCH 2/2] arm64: efi: kaslr: Fix boot failure if efi_random_alloc() fails

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

 



If efi_random_alloc() fails, we still try to use EFI_KIMG_ALIGN
instead of MIN_KIMG_ALIGN to check the kernel image alignment,
which is incorrect, we need to fallback to MIN_KIMG_ALIGN (2M).

This removes the not-that-useful min_kimg_align helper and instead
uses the appropriate aligment in the respective call sites:

efi_random_alloc() always wants EFI_KIMG_ALIGN as this is only
used when kaslr is on, and all other cases go into alignment
check code which always need to check (and enforce) MIN_KIMG_ALIGN
