Change
a90118c445cc x86/boot: Save fields explicitly, zero out everything else
modified the way boot parameters were saved on x86. When this was
backported, e820_table didn't exists, and that change was dropped.
Unfortunately, e820_table did exist, it was just named e820_map
in this kernel version.
This was breaking booting on a Supermicro Super Server/A2SDi-2C-HLN4F
with a Denverton CPU. Adding e820_map to the saved boot params table
fixes the issue.

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")

commit a90118c445cc7f07781de26a9684d4ec58bfcfd1 upstream.
Recent gcc compilers (gcc 9.1) generate warnings about an out of bounds
memset, if the memset goes accross several fields of a struct. This
generated a couple of warnings on x86_64 builds in sanitize_boot_params().
Fix this by explicitly saving the fields in struct boot_params
that are intended to be preserved, and zeroing all the rest.
[ tglx: Tagged for stable as it breaks the warning free build there as well ]

OpenFirmware wasn't quite following the protocol described in boot.txt
and the kernel has detected this through use of the sentinel value
in boot_params. OFW does zero out almost all of the stuff that it should
do, but not the sentinel.
This causes the kernel to clear olpc_ofw_header, which breaks x86 OLPC
support.
OpenFirmware has now been fixed. However, it would be nice if we could
maintain Linux compatibility with old firmware versions. To do that, we just
have to avoid zeroing out olpc_ofw_header.
OFW does not write to any other parts of the header that are being zapped
by the sentinel-detection code, and all users of olpc_ofw_header are
somewhat protected through checking for the OLPC_OFW_SIG magic value
before using it. So this should not cause any problems for anyone.

If the sentinel triggers, we do not want the boot loader authors to
just poke it and make the error go away, we want them to actually fix
the problem.
This should help avoid making the incorrect change in non-compliant
bootloaders.

When boot_params->sentinel is set, all we really know is that some
undefined set of fields in struct boot_params contain garbage. In the
particular case of efi_info, however, there is a private magic for
that substructure, so it is generally safe to leave it even if the
bootloader is broken.
kexec (for which we did the initial analysis) did not initialize this
field, but of course all the EFI bootloaders do, and most EFI
bootloaders are broken in this respect (and should be fixed.)

Use the new sentinel field to detect bootloaders which fail to follow
protocol and don't initialize fields in struct boot_params that they
do not explicitly initialize to zero.
Based on an original patch and research by Yinghai Lu.
Changed by hpa to be invoked both in the decompression path and in the
kernel proper; the latter for the case where a bootloader takes over
decompression.
