6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb+git@xxxxxxxxxx> From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Commit 50dcc2e0d62e3c4a54f39673c4dc3dcde7c74d52 upstream ] Now that the x86 EFI stub calls into some APIs exposed by the decompressor (e.g., kaslr_get_random_long()), it is necessary to ensure that the global boot_params variable is set correctly before doing so.
