commit c32ac11da3f83bb42b986702a9b92f0a14ed4182 upstream. 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
