    Subject[GIT PULL] EFI urgent fixes
    Folks, please pull the following urgent fixes. Of particular importance
    is the patch from Michael that fixes a memory corruption bug in the x86
    EFI boot stub.

    The following changes since commit 783ee43118dc773bc8b0342c5b230e017d5a04d0:

    efi-pstore: Fix an overflow on 32-bit builds (2014-06-27 07:30:32 +0100)

    are available in the git repository at:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi.git tags/efi-urgent

    for you to fetch changes up to c7fb93ec51d462ec3540a729ba446663c26a0505:

    x86/efi: Include a .bss section within the PE/COFF headers (2014-07-10 14:21:39 +0100)

    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    * Remove a duplicate copy of linux_banner from the arm64 EFI stub
    which, apart from reducing code duplication also stops the arm64 stub
    being rebuilt every time make is invoked - Ard Biesheuvel

    * Fix the EFI fdt code to not report a boot error if UEFI is
    unavailable since booting without UEFI parameters is a valid use case
    for non-UEFI platforms - Catalin Marinas

    * Include a .bss section in the EFI boot stub PE/COFF headers to fix a
    memory corruption bug - Michael Brown

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