    efi/libstub: arm64: Double check image alignment at entry · c32ac11d
    Ard Biesheuvel authored
    On arm64, the stub only moves the kernel image around in memory if
    needed, which is typically only for KASLR, given that relocatable
    kernels (which is the default) can run from any 64k aligned address,
    which is also the minimum alignment communicated to EFI via the PE/COFF
    header.
    
    Unfortunately, some loaders appear to ignore this header, and load the
    kernel at some arbitrary offset in memory. We can deal with this, but
    let's check for this condition anyway, so non-compliant code can be
    spotted and fixed.
