Hi Linus,
A steady trickle of EFI fixes this cycle - this is due to the backports hitting
kernels that are more widely used. There are a few more issues under
investigation, but these fixes are straight-forward and important, so no need
to delay them.
Please pull.
The following changes since commit b3810c5a2cc4a6665f7a65bed5393c75ce3f3aa2:
x86/efistub: Clear decompressor BSS in native EFI entrypoint (2024-03-15 19:47:09 +0100)
