From 688eb28211abdf82a3f51e8997f1c8137947227d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arvind Sankar Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2020 10:20:12 -0400 Subject: efi/x86: Only copy the compressed kernel image in efi_relocate_kernel() The image_size argument to efi_relocate_kernel() is currently specified as init_size, but this is unnecessarily large. The compressed kernel is much smaller, in fact, its image only extends up to the start of _bss, since at this point, the .bss section is still uninitialized. Depending on compression level, this can reduce the amount of data copied by 4-5x.
