The efi_pe_entry() body is somehow squashed into startup_32(). In the old days,
we forced startup_32() to start at offset 0x00 and efi_pe_entry() to start
at 0x10.
But this requirement was removed long time ago, in:
99f857db88 ("x86, build: Dynamically find entry points in compressed startup code")
The way it is now makes the code less readable and illogical. Given
we can now safely extract the inlined efi_pe_entry() body from
startup_32() into a separate function, we do so and we separate it to two
functions as they are marked already: efi_pe_entry() + efi32_stub_entry().
We also annotate the functions appropriatelly by ENTRY+ENDPROC.
ABI offset is preserved:
0000 128 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 6 startup_32
0080 60 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 6 efi_pe_entry
00bc 68 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 6 efi32_stub_entry
On the top-level, it looked like this:
ENTRY(startup_32)
#ifdef CONFIG_EFI_STUB ; start of inlined
jmp preferred_addr
ENTRY(efi_pe_entry)
... ; a lot of assembly (efi_pe_entry)
ENTRY(efi32_stub_entry)
... ; a lot of assembly (efi32_stub_entry)
leal preferred_addr(%eax), %eax
jmp *%eax
preferred_addr:
#endif ; end of inlined
... ; a lot of assembly (startup_32)
ENDPROC(startup_32)
And it is now converted into:
ENTRY(startup_32)
... ; a lot of assembly (startup_32)
ENDPROC(startup_32)
#ifdef CONFIG_EFI_STUB
ENTRY(efi_pe_entry)
... ; a lot of assembly (efi_pe_entry)
ENDPROC(efi_pe_entry)
ENTRY(efi32_stub_entry)
... ; a lot of assembly (efi32_stub_entry)
leal startup_32(%eax), %eax
jmp *%eax
ENDPROC(efi32_stub_entry)
#endif

Linux kernel
============
This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst
Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
