Merge tag 'x86_boot_for_v6.6_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 boot updates from Borislav Petkov:
"Avoid the baremetal decompressor code when booting on an EFI machine.
This is mandated by the current tightening of EFI executables
requirements when used in a secure boot scenario. More specifically,
an EFI executable cannot have a single section with RWX permissions,
which conflicts with the in-place kernel decompression that is done
today.
Instead, the things required by the booting kernel image are done in
the EFI stub now.
