[PATCH v2 1/1] x86/boot/compressed: Fix reloading of GDTR post-relocation

From: Arvind Sankar
Date: Wed Feb 26 2020 - 18:00:36 EST


Commit ef5a7b5eb13e ("efi/x86: Remove GDT setup from efi_main")
introduced GDT setup into the 32-bit kernel's startup_32, and reloads
the GDTR after relocating the kernel for paranoia's sake.

Commit 32d009137a56 ("x86/boot: Reload GDTR after copying to the end of
the buffer") introduced a similar GDTR reload in the 64-bit kernel.

The GDTR is adjusted by init_size - _end, however this may not be the
correct offset to apply if the kernel was loaded at a misaligned address
or below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR, as in that case the decompression buffer
has an additional offset from the original load address.

This should never happen for a conformant bootloader, but we're being
paranoid anyway, so just store the new GDT address in there instead of
adding any offsets, which is simpler as well.
