When copying the setup_header into the boot_params buffer, only the data that is actually part of the setup_header should be copied. efi_pe_entry() currently copies the entire second sector, which initializes some of the fields in boot_params beyond the setup_header with garbage (i.e. part of the real-mode boot code gets copied into those fields). This does not cause any issues currently because the fields that are overwritten are padding, BIOS EDD information that won't get used, and the E820 table which will get properly filled in later. Fix this to only copy data that is actually part of the setup_header structure. Signed-off-by: Arvind Sankar <nivedita@alum.mit.edu> 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.
