    efi/x86: Fix the missing KASLR_FLAG bit in boot_params->hdr.loadflags · 01638431
    Yuntao Wang authored
    When KASLR is enabled, the KASLR_FLAG bit in boot_params->hdr.loadflags
    should be set to 1 to propagate KASLR status from compressed kernel to
    kernel, just as the choose_random_location() function does.
    
    Currently, when the kernel is booted via the EFI stub, the KASLR_FLAG
    bit in boot_params->hdr.loadflags is not set, even though it should be.
    This causes some functions, such as kernel_randomize_memory(), not to
    execute as expected. Fix it.
