3.16.7-ckt12 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Roy Franz <roy.franz@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 98b228f55014870092c15d7d168fecac69f2f12a upstream. Until now, the EFI stub was only setting the 32 bit cmd_line_ptr in the setup_header structure, so on 64 bit platforms this could be truncated. This patch adds setting the upper bits of the buffer address in ext_cmd_line_ptr. This case was likely never hit, as the allocation for this buffer is done at the lowest available address. Only x86_64 kernels have this problem, as the 1-1 mapping mandated by EFI ensures that all memory is 32 bit addressable on 32 bit platforms. The EFI stub does not support mixed mode, so the 32 bit kernel on 64 bit firmware case does not need to be handled.
