[ Upstream commit5b94046efb] Distro versions of GRUB replace the usual LoadImage/StartImage calls used to load the kernel image with some local code that fails to honor the allocation requirements described in the PE/COFF header, as it does not account for the image's BSS section at all: it fails to allocate space for it, and fails to zero initialize it. Since the EFI stub itself is allocated in the .init segment, which is in the middle of the image, its BSS section is not impacted by this, and the main consequence of this omission is that the BSS section may overlap with memory regions that are already used by the firmware. So let's warn about this condition, and force image reallocation to occur in this case, which works around the problem.

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.
