Ard Biesheuvel 04a7d0e156 efi/libstub/x86: Avoid overflowing code32_start on PE entry
When using the native PE entry point (as opposed to the EFI handover
protocol entry point that is used more widely), we set code32_start,
which is a 32-bit wide field, to the effective symbol address of
startup_32, which could overflow given that the EFI loader may have
located the running image anywhere in memory, and we haven't reached
the point yet where we relocate ourselves.

Since we relocate ourselves if code32_start != pref_address, this
isn't likely to lead to problems in practice, given how unlikely
it is that the truncated effective address of startup_32 happens
to equal pref_address. But it is better to defer the assignment
of code32_start to after the relocation, when it is guaranteed to
fit.

While at it, move the call to efi_relocate_kernel() to an earlier
stage so it is more likely that our preferred offset in memory has
not been occupied by other memory allocations done in the mean time.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
