Ard Biesheuvel 015e2c900b efi/libstub: arm64: Relax 2M alignment again for relocatable kernels
[ Upstream commit 3a26242375 ]

Commit 82046702e2 ("efi/libstub/arm64: Replace 'preferred' offset with
alignment check") simplified the way the stub moves the kernel image
around in memory before booting it, given that a relocatable image does
not need to be copied to a 2M aligned offset if it was loaded on a 64k
boundary by EFI.

Commit d32de9130f ("efi/arm64: libstub: Deal gracefully with
EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL failure") inadvertently defeated this logic by
overriding the value of efi_nokaslr if EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL is not
available, which was mistaken by the loader logic as an explicit request
on the part of the user to disable KASLR and any associated relocation
of an Image not loaded on a 2M boundary.

So let's reinstate this functionality, by capturing the value of
efi_nokaslr at function entry to choose the minimum alignment.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
