z_output_len is the size of the decompressed payload (i.e. vmlinux + vmlinux.relocs) and is generated as an unsigned 32-bit quantity by mkpiggy.c. The current movq $z_output_len, %r9 instruction generates a sign-extended move to %r9. Using movl $z_output_len, %r9d will instead zero-extend into %r9, which is appropriate for an unsigned 32-bit quantity. This is also what is already done for z_input_len, the size of the compressed payload. [ bp: Also, z_output_len cannot be a 64-bit quantity because it participates in: init_size: .long INIT_SIZE # kernel initialization size through INIT_SIZE which is a 32-bit quantity determined by the .long directive (vs .quad for 64-bit). Furthermore, if it really must be a 64-bit quantity, then the insn must be MOVABS which can accommodate a 64-bit immediate and which the toolchain does not generate automatically. ] Signed-off-by: Arvind Sankar <nivedita@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200211173333.1722739-1-nivedita@alum.mit.edu
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.
