Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/boot changes for v6.7

Linus,

Please pull the latest x86/boot git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-boot-2023-10-28

# HEAD: 50dcc2e0d62e3c4a54f39673c4dc3dcde7c74d52 x86/boot: efistub: Assign global boot_params variable

MERGE NOTE:

- Pulling this tree will generate a conflict in
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/x86-stub.c, due to a fix we wanted upstream
without related cleanups, which is resolved by picking this resolution:

boot_params_ptr = boot_params;

Changes to the x86 boot code in v6.7:

- Rework PE header generation, primarily to generate a modern, 4k aligned
kernel image view with narrower W^X permissions.

- Further refine init-lifetime annotations

- Misc cleanups & fixes

Thanks,

Ingo

Hmm. I think I should also remove the now legacy line of

extern struct boot_params *boot_params_pointer asm("boot_params");

from drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/x86-stub.h, no?

Indeed.
