Revision 2e604c0f19dcdd433b3863ffc3da9bc0787ca765 authored by Josh Boyer on 07 March 2013, 04:23:30 UTC, committed by H. Peter Anvin on 07 March 2013, 04:23:30 UTC
When boot_params->sentinel is set, all we really know is that some undefined set of fields in struct boot_params contain garbage. In the particular case of efi_info, however, there is a private magic for that substructure, so it is generally safe to leave it even if the bootloader is broken. kexec (for which we did the initial analysis) did not initialize this field, but of course all the EFI bootloaders do, and most EFI bootloaders are broken in this respect (and should be fixed.)
