[PATCH v2] x86/boot: Use 32-bit (zero-extended) move for z_output_len

From: Arvind Sankar
Date: Tue Feb 11 2020 - 12:33:36 EST


z_output_len is the size of the decompressed payload (i.e. vmlinux +
vmlinux.relocs) and is generated as an unsigned 32-bit quantity by
mkpiggy.c.

The current movq $z_output_len, %r9 instruction generates a
sign-extended move to %r9. Using movl $z_output_len, %r9d will instead
zero-extend into %r9, which is appropriate for an unsigned 32-bit
quantity. This is also what we already do for z_input_len, the size of
the compressed payload.
