Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot: efistub: Assign global boot_params variable
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2023 18:46:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231016164634.3514517-2-ardb@google.com> (raw)
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Now that the x86 EFI stub calls into some APIs exposed by the
decompressor (e.g., kaslr_get_random_long()), it is necessary to ensure
that the global boot_params variable is set correctly before doing so.
Note that the decompressor and the kernel proper carry conflicting
declarations for the global variable 'boot_params' so refer to it via an
alias to work around this.
