[PATCH] arm64: kexec: load from kimage prior to clobbering

[Mark Rutland]

In arm64_relocate_new_kernel() we load some fields out of the kimage
structure after relocation has occurred. As the kimage structure isn't
allocate to be relocation-safe, it may be clobbered during relocation,
and we may load junk values out of the structure.

Due to this, kexec may fail when the kimage allocation happens to fall
within a PA range that an object will be relocated to. This has been
observed to occur for regular kexec on a QEMU TCG 'virt' machine with
2GiB of RAM, where the PA range of the new kernel image overlaps the
kimage structure.

Avoid this by ensuring we load all values from the kimage structure
prior to relocation.

I've tested this atop v5.16 and v5.18-rc6.
