From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> I found something suspicious while hunting another bug a while ago. The conditions for that bug to occur seems quite hard to meet, but it's still code quality improvement. See the commit message for details. Sylvain Gault (1): efi: Suspicious size reducti...

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> I don't know if I should merge those trivial warning fix into one commit. I can reformat it as requested. Those are a few warning fixes for the efi part. The code involved has mainly been introduced in recent commits. Sylvain Gault (3): efi: fix warnings a...

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> TL;DR: The section aligment in linker scripts messed-up the memory mapping needed for the compression / decompression to work. The bug with gcc 5 is not trivial, I'll do my best to explain it here. Basically, there are two memory mappings of the code. One i...

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> Hello there, I propose 2 patches that fix two possible stack overflows either when running a COM32 module or when loading a new config file. I didn't find a better way to do this than to use the infamous setjmp/longjmp functions to restore the stack to a pr...

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> The command-line parsing used to return a pointer to a local array. The code used to work by chance, but now, gcc 5 is able to detect it and return a NULL pointer instead. The buffer is now marked static. This shouldn't be a problem as only one command line...

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> These few patches contain a few improvement about the Makefiles for EFI. Mainly, to rebuild the files when needed, and only when needed. The three shell scripts efi/{check,build,clean}-gnu-efi.sh disappeared and are now integrated as makefile recipes. You'll...

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> On some architecture, including my hardware, the function ExitBootServices may need to be called twice in order to successfully exit the boot services. As stated by the UEFI spec, the first call to ExitBootServices may perform a partial shutdown of the services....

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> The System V ABI for x86-64 specify that a "red zone" is an area of 128 bytes above the current stack frame. This area can be used by a called function in order to avoid the overhead of modifying the stack pointer. The direct effect is that interrupt/ev...

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> These patches basically remove unused linker scripts and port a change that was made to an unused script. Those are to be applied on top of the gcc 5 bug fixes as they would conflict otherwise. Sylvain Gault (4): diag/mbr: fix dependency to linker script Re...
