After the EFI stub has done its business, it jumps into the kernel by branching to offset #0 of the loaded Image, which is where it expects to find the header containing a 'branch to stext' instruction. However, the UEFI spec 2.1.1 states the following regarding PE/COFF image loading: "A UEFI image is loaded into memory through the LoadImage() Boot Service. This service loads an image with a PE32+ format into memory. This PE32+ loader is required to load all sections of the PE32+ image into memory." In other words, it is /not/ required to load parts of the image that are not covered by a PE/COFF section, so it may not have loaded the header at the expected offset, as it is not covered by any PE/COFF section. So instead, jump to 'stext' directly, which is at the base of the PE/COFF .text section, by supplying a symbol 'stext_offset' to efi-entry.o which contains the relative offset of stext into the Image. Also replace other open coded calculations of the same value with a reference to 'stext_offset' Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Acked-by: Roy Franz <roy.franz@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> |
