Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] x86/boot: fix relying on link order
Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2022 17:15:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221101161529.1634188-1-alexandr.lobakin@intel.com> (raw)
The series contains stuff I caught last week while working on some
x86 code. It can be considered a material for fixes or for next,
I'm okay with either, although leaning more towards fixes :P
Notes on patches:
* 0001: I didn't put any "Fixes:" tag since it's not linear. The
lines changed with this patch came from the initial x86
KASLR series, but that unconditional jump to the kernel
beginning already was there. It goes at least from the set
that brought relocatable kernel support to x86, but this
is quite prehistoric already and might not look really
relatable. So up to you whether it needs any.
* 0002: doesn't fix anything, except that having any files listed
in that whitelist already is an architecture bug :D And
it wouldn't be convenient to decouple it from #0001, but
up to you as well.
From v1[0]:
* collect the Tested-by tags (Jiri);
* don't add pathetic returns after noreturn error() (Jiri);
* debug-print the entry point offset via debug_putaddr() before
booting (Jiri);
* always have an empty line before return statements (Jiri).
