    x86/efistub: Don't clear BSS twice in mixed mode · df7ecce8
    Ard Biesheuvel authored
    Clearing BSS should only be done once, at the very beginning.
    efi_pe_entry() is the entrypoint from the firmware, which may not clear
    BSS and so it is done explicitly. However, efi_pe_entry() is also used
    as an entrypoint by the mixed mode startup code, in which case BSS will
    already have been cleared, and doing it again at this point will corrupt
    global variables holding the firmware's GDT/IDT and segment selectors.
    
    So make the memset() conditional on whether the EFI stub is running in
    native mode.
    
    Fixes: b3810c5a ("x86/efistub: Clear decompressor BSS in native EFI entrypoint")
