The EFI stub executes within the context of the zImage as it was loaded by the firmware, which means it is treated as an ordinary PE/COFF executable, which is loaded into memory, and cleaned to the PoU to ensure that it can be executed safely while the MMU and caches are on. When the EFI stub hands over to the decompressor, we clean the caches by set/way and disable the MMU and D-cache, to comply with the Linux boot protocol for ARM. However, cache maintenance by set/way is not sufficient to ensure that subsequent instruction fetches and data accesses done with the MMU off see the correct data. This means that proceeding as we do currently is not safe, especially since we also perform data accesses with the MMU off, from a literal pool as well as the stack. So let's kick this can down the road a bit, and jump into the relocated zImage before disabling the caches. This removes the requirement to perform any by-VA cache maintenance on the original PE/COFF executable, but it does require that the relocated zImage is cleaned to the PoC, which is currently not the case. This will be addressed in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> |

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.
