[edk2-devel] [PATCH 0/1] MdePkg/BaseLib: AArch64 SetJump/LongJump bugfix

Hi all,

I have recently discovered a bug in the BaseLib's implementation of
SetJump and LongJump; the offsets listed in the assembly files are 8
bytes off, causing the functions to read/write 8 bytes past the end of
the jump buffer. More details can be found in the commit message.

I must admit I am a bit surprised this has not bee caught before,
especially since the original implementation dates some 7 years back;
if there is something obvious that I am missing, please let me
know. Also, I am cc'ing all the people who signed off or reviewed the
original commit.

Note that this is my first contribution to EDK-II; I have tried to
follow the guidelines as closely as possible, but if there is still
something wrong with formatting etc., let me know and I shall submit a
v2 with the issues fixed. That being said, I did run PatchCheck.py and
it reported no errors.

Cheers!
 -Jan Bobek
