9 * There are two ways of populating the core kernel's struct screen_info via the stub:
10 * - using a configuration table, like below, which relies on the EFI init code
11 * to locate the table and copy the contents;
12 * - by linking directly to the core kernel's copy of the global symbol.
14 * The latter is preferred because it makes the EFIFB earlycon available very
15 * early, but it only works if the EFI stub is part of the core kernel image
16 * itself. The zboot decompressor can only use the configuration table
19 * In order to support both methods from the same build of the EFI stub
20 * library, provide this dummy global definition of struct screen_info. If it
21 * is required to satisfy a link dependency, it means we need to override the
22 * __weak alloc and free methods with the ones below, and those will be pulled
