[PATCH 1/6] x86: decompressor: Move global symbol references to C code

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Mon Apr 24 2023 - 12:57:53 EST


We no longer have to be cautious when referring to global variables in
the position independent decompressor code, now that we use PIE codegen
and assert in the linker script that no GOT entries exist (which would
require adjustment for the actual runtime load address of the
decompressor binary).

This means we can simply refer to global variables directly, instead of
passing them into C routines from asm code. Let's do so for the code
that will be called directly from the EFI stub after a subsequent patch,
and avoid the need to pass these quantities directly.
