6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Commit 7e50262229faad0c7b8c54477cd1c883f31cc4a7 upstream ] The native EFI entrypoint does not take a struct boot_params from the loader, but instead, it constructs one from scratch, using the setup header data placed at the start of the image. This setup header is placed in a way that permits legacy loaders to manipulate the contents (i.e., to pass the kernel command line or the address and size of an initial ramdisk), but EFI boot does not use it in that way - it only copies the contents that were placed there at build time, but EFI loaders will not (and should not) manipulate the setup header to configure the boot. (Commit 63bf28ceb3ebbe76 "efi: x86: Wipe setup_data on pure EFI boot" deals with some of the fallout of using setup_data in a way that breaks EFI boot.) Given that none of the non-zero values that are copied from the setup header into the EFI stub's struct boot_params are relevant to the boot now that the EFI stub no longer enters via the legacy decompressor, the copy can be omitted altogether.
