      efi: stub: prefer mirrored memory for randomized allocations · a6cfe03c
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      If the system exposes memory regions with the EFI_MORE_RELIABLE
      attribute, it is implied that it is intended to be used for allocations
      that are relatively important, such as the kernel's static image.
      
      Since efi_random_alloc() is mostly (only) used for allocating space for
      the kernel image, let's update it to take this into account, and
      disregard all memory without the EFI_MORE_RELIABLE attribute if there is
      sufficient memory available that does have this attribute.
      
      Note that this change only affects booting with randomization enabled.
      In other cases, the EFI stub runs the kernel image in place unless its
      placement is unsuitable for some reason (i.e., misaligned, or its BSS
      overlaps with another allocation), and it is left to the bootloader to
      ensure that the kernel was loaded into EFI_MORE_RELIABLE memory if this
      is desired.
