From cda92ac47c024d84f6b8294e462d6272039a10ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: WANG Rui Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 16:47:21 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] efi/libstub: Synchronize instruction cache after kernel relocation The relocated kernel image is copied to its new location using memcpy(). On architectures with separate instruction and data caches, the copied instructions may remain stale in the instruction cache, leading to the execution of outdated contents. Call efi_cache_sync_image() after the relocation copy to ensure the instruction cache is synchronized with the updated memory contents before control is transferred to the relocated kernel.
