Subject[PATCH v2 0/6] x86/boot: Clean up handling of boot_params pointer
Date
On entry from the bootloader, RSI contains the pointer to the boot_params
data structure. The pointer is passed to x86_64_start_kernel(), which
requires preserving RSI all the way though the early boot asm code.
Change it to copy the boot_params data as soon as possible, which also
has the benefit of not needing to remap the real mode data pages if
memory encryption is enabled.

Note: The memory encryption changes are untested due to lack of hardware.

Brian Gerst (6):
x86/boot: Move sanitize_boot_params()
x86/boot: Remove extra call to copy_bootdata()
x86/boot: Clean up get_cmd_line_ptr()
x86/boot: Move copy_bootdata() to very early boot.
x86/boot: Use copied boot data in __startup_64()
x86/boot: Use copied boot data in sme_enable()
