[PATCH 1/9] efi/libstub: Fix allocation size calculations

From: Matt Fleming
Date: Sat Nov 12 2016 - 16:34:42 EST


From: Roy Franz <roy.franz@xxxxxxx>

Adjust the size used in calculations to match the actual size of allocation
that will be performed based on EFI size/alignment constraints.
efi_high_alloc() and efi_low_alloc() use the passed size in bytes directly
to find space in the memory map for the allocation, rather than the actual
allocation size that has been adjusted for size and alignment constraints.
This results in failed allocations and retries in efi_high_alloc(). The
same error is present in efi_low_alloc(), although failure will only happen
if the lowest memory block is small.
Also use EFI_PAGE_SIZE consistently and remove use of EFI_PAGE_SHIFT to
calculate page size.
