+Subject: [PATCH 1/3] x86/efi: Fix boot failure with EFI stub
+
+commit 54b52d872680 ("x86/efi: Build our own EFI services pointer
+table") introduced a regression because the 64-bit file_size()
+implementation passed a pointer to a 32-bit data object, instead of a
+pointer to a 64-bit object.
+
+Because the firmware treats the object as 64-bits regardless it was
+reading random values from the stack for the upper 32-bits.
+
+This resulted in people being unable to boot their machines, after
+seeing the following error messages,
+
+ Failed to get file info size
+ Failed to alloc highmem for files
