From f81794c3789dcacf5dc5abe7da557f33e0c60ecf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kairui Song Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2020 17:24:28 +0800 Subject: x86/kexec: Use up-to-dated screen_info copy to fill boot params [ Upstream commit afc18069a2cb7ead5f86623a5f3d4ad6e21f940d ] kexec_file_load() currently reuses the old boot_params.screen_info, but if drivers have change the hardware state, boot_param.screen_info could contain invalid info. For example, the video type might be no longer VGA, or the frame buffer address might be changed. If the kexec kernel keeps using the old screen_info, kexec'ed kernel may attempt to write to an invalid framebuffer memory region. There are two screen_info instances globally available, boot_params.screen_info and screen_info. Later one is a copy, and is updated by drivers. So let kexec_file_load use the updated copy.
