[PATCH 3.11 080/137] x86/efi: Include a .bss section within the PE/COFF headers

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Mon Aug 18 2014 - 05:51:21 EST


3.11.10.15 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Brown <mbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c7fb93ec51d462ec3540a729ba446663c26a0505 upstream.

The PE/COFF headers currently describe only the initialised-data
portions of the image, and result in no space being allocated for the
uninitialised-data portions. Consequently, the EFI boot stub will end
up overwriting unexpected areas of memory, with unpredictable results.

Fix by including a .bss section in the PE/COFF headers (functionally
equivalent to the init_size field in the bzImage header).
