Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/boot: Use 32-bit (zero-extended) move for z_output_len
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2020 12:33:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200211173333.1722739-1-nivedita@alum.mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200211161739.GE32279@zn.tnic>

z_output_len is the size of the decompressed payload (i.e. vmlinux +
vmlinux.relocs) and is generated as an unsigned 32-bit quantity by
mkpiggy.c.

The current movq $z_output_len, %r9 instruction generates a
sign-extended move to %r9. Using movl $z_output_len, %r9d will instead
zero-extend into %r9, which is appropriate for an unsigned 32-bit
quantity. This is also what we already do for z_input_len, the size of
the compressed payload.
