Subject: [PATCH] loader/arm64/linux: Remove magic number header field check
|
|
|
|
The "ARM\x64" magic number in the file header identifies an image as one
|
|
that implements the bare metal boot protocol, allowing the loader to
|
|
simply move the file to a suitably aligned address in memory, with
|
|
sufficient headroom for the trailing .bss segment (the required memory
|
|
size is described in the header as well).
|
|
|
|
Note of this matters for GRUB, as it only supports EFI boot. EFI does
|
|
not care about this magic number, and nor should GRUB: this prevents us
|
|
from booting other PE linux images, such as the generic EFI zboot
|
|
decompressor, which is a pure PE/COFF image, and does not implement the
|
|
bare metal boot protocol.
|
|
|
|
So drop the magic number check.
