Subject: [PATCH edk2-platforms v1 1/1] Platform/ARM: Fix uninitialized variable in RunAxf
Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2020 17:04:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200403160436.37896-1-sami.mujawar@arm.com> (raw)
RunAxf is a shell command used for running an Axf
file. The ShellDynCmdRunAxfHandler() loads an ELF
file or one processed by the Flashloader. It
calls the appropriate loaders to load the file
in memory and to obtain the entry point address.
The first argument to RunAxfPivot() is the entry
point address for the image to execute. The patch
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/commit/996047695a06167a918b07b22fcd0fbd0def5da6
changes set/way cache maintenance operations
to by-VA operation. This patch however introduced
an error: 'variable StartElf is not initialized'.
Since, StartElf is the first argument to
RunAxfPivot(), which is expected to be the entry
point address; RunAxfPivot() would end up branching
to an invalid address resulting in a crash.
Therefore, initialize StartElf to the entry point
address before calling RunAxfPivot().
