Guys, this is what I'm going to queue up for v4.3. My plan is to let it bake in linux-next for a while, to try and shake out any problems. Interestingly, I'm not sure that the size of the bzImage is actually guaranteed to be a multiple of 32, since it appears that arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c only deals with 16-byte "paragraphs". --- >From 809ca3d4eac5836e5f48c19f28babff1e5b71c77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Fleming <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:05:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "x86/efi: Request desired alignment via the PE/COFF headers" This reverts commit aeffc4928ea21aab3c7be72f00e257799b661c29. Linn reports that Signtool complains that kernels built with CONFIG_EFI_STUB are violating the PE/COFF specification because the SizeOfImage field is not a multiple of SectionAlignment. This violation was introduced as an optimisation to skip having the kernel relocate itself during boot and instead have the firmware place it at a correctly aligned address. No one else has complained and I'm not aware of any firmware implementations that refuse to boot with commit aeffc4928ea2, but it's a legitimate bug, so revert the offending commit.
