[PATCH 4.4 009/100] x86/boot: Use unsigned comparison for addresses

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Apr 22 2020 - 05:59:48 EST


From: Arvind Sankar <nivedita@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 81a34892c2c7c809f9c4e22c5ac936ae673fb9a2 ]

The load address is compared with LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR using a signed
comparison currently (using jge instruction).

When loading a 64-bit kernel using the new efi32_pe_entry() point added by:

97aa276579b2 ("efi/x86: Add true mixed mode entry point into .compat section")

using Qemu with -m 3072, the firmware actually loads us above 2Gb,
resulting in a very early crash.

Use the JAE instruction to perform a unsigned comparison instead, as physical
addresses should be considered unsigned.
