| |
Guys, please pull the following. One of the fixes is for a regression introduced during the merge window. The other two are bugs that have existed in the EFI boot stub for a while, but which have only just been reported.
I'm going to take care of submitting the later two to stable separately because they won't apply cleanly as-is.
The following changes since commit 204b0a1a4b92612c957a042df1a3be0e9cc79391:
x86, efi: Abstract x86 efi_early calls (2014-03-26 11:30:03 -0700)
are available in the git repository at:

efi: Pass correct file handle to efi_file_{read,close} (2014-04-10 21:20:03 +0100)
---------------------------------------------------------------- * Fix EFI boot regression introduced during the merge window where the firmware was reading random values from the stack because we were passing a pointer to the wrong object type.
* Kernel corruption has been reported when booting with the EFI boot stub which was tracked down to setting a bogus value for bp->hdr.code32_start, resulting in corruption during relocation.
* Olivier Martin reported that the wrong file handles were being passed to efi_file_(read|close), which works for x86 by luck due to the way that the FAT driver is implemented, but doesn't work on ARM.
---------------------------------------------------------------- Matt Fleming (3): x86/efi: Fix boot failure with EFI stub x86/efi: Correct EFI boot stub use of code32_start efi: Pass correct file handle to efi_file_{read,close}
