6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 093ab258e3fb1d1d3afdfd4a69403d44ce90e360 upstream. The setup block contains the real mode startup code that is used when booting from a legacy BIOS, along with the boot_params/setup_data that is used by legacy x86 bootloaders to pass the command line and initial ramdisk parameters, among other things. The setup block also contains the PE/COFF header of the entire combined image, which includes the compressed kernel image, the decompressor and the EFI stub. This PE header describes the layout of the executable image in memory, and currently, the fact that the setup block precedes it makes it rather fiddly to get the right values into the right place in the final image. Let's make things a bit easier by defining the setup_size in the linker script so it can be referenced from the asm code directly, rather than having to rely on the build tool to calculate it. For the time being, add 64 bytes of fixed padding for the .reloc and .compat sections - this will be removed in a subsequent patch after the PE/COFF header has been reorganized. This change has no impact on the resulting bzImage binary when configured with CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y.
