[PATCH 4.4 37/43] x86/boot/64: Verify alignment of the LOAD segment

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c55b8550fa57ba4f5e507be406ff9fc2845713e8 upstream.

Since the x86-64 kernel must be aligned to 2MB, refuse to boot the
kernel if the alignment of the LOAD segment isn't a multiple of 2MB.
