Subject: [PATCH v2 03/10] efi/libstub: Avoid _end section marker in library code
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 13:17:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110121731.2728824-15-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110121731.2728824-12-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
The _end marker could point to the end of the kernel image being loaded,
or to the _end of the zboot decompressor image, and so it should only be
used in code that is obviously only intended for the former case.
So instead, use kernel_memsize and the image address to obtain the same
quantity.
