The pure EFI stub entry point does not take a struct boot_params from the boot loader, but creates it from scratch, and populates only the fields that still have meaning in this context (command line, initrd base and size, etc) The original mixed mode implementation used the EFI handover protocol instead, where the boot loader (i.e., GRUB) populates a boot_params struct and passes it to a special Linux specific EFI entry point that takes the boot_params pointer as its third argument. When the new mixed mode implementation was introduced, using a special 32-bit PE entrypoint in the 64-bit kernel, it adopted the pure approach, and relied on the EFI stub to create the struct boot_params. This is preferred because it makes the bootloader side much easier to implement, as it does not need any x86-specific knowledge on how struct boot_params and struct setup_header are put together. This mixed mode implementation was adopted by systemd-boot version 252 and later. When commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
