Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/9] x86/purgatory: Simplify stack handling
Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2024 17:53:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240424155309.1719454-13-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240424155309.1719454-11-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
The x86 purgatory, which does little more than verify a SHA-256 hash of
the loaded segments, currently uses three different stacks:
- one in .bss that is used to call the purgatory C code
- one in .rodata that is only used to switch to an updated code segment
descriptor in the GDT
- one in .data, which allows it to be prepopulated from the kexec loader
in theory, but this is not actually being taken advantage of.
Simplify this, by dropping the latter two stacks, as well as the loader
logic that programs RSP.
Both the stacks in .bss and .data are 4k aligned, but 16 byte alignment
is more than sufficient.
