[PATCH 4.9 36/83] x86/boot: Fix boot regression caused by bootparam sanitizing

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Sep 04 2019 - 14:01:56 EST


From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7846f58fba964af7cb8cf77d4d13c33254725211 upstream.

commit a90118c445cc ("x86/boot: Save fields explicitly, zero out everything
else") had two errors:

* It preserved boot_params.acpi_rsdp_addr, and
* It failed to preserve boot_params.hdr

Therefore, zero out acpi_rsdp_addr, and preserve hdr.

Fixes: a90118c445cc ("x86/boot: Save fields explicitly, zero out everything else")
