Currently the EFI stub prints a diagnostic on boot saying that KASLR will be disabled if it is unable to use the EFI RNG protocol to obtain a seed for KASLR. With the addition of support for v8.5-RNG and the SMCCC RNG protocol it is now possible for KASLR to obtain entropy even if the EFI RNG protocol is unsupported in the system, and the main kernel now explicitly says if KASLR is active itself. This can result in a boot log where the stub says KASLR has been disabled and the main kernel says that it is enabled which is confusing for users. Remove the explicit reference to KASLR from the diagnostics, the warnings are still useful as EFI is the only source of entropy the stub uses when randomizing the physical address of the kernel and the other sources may not be available.

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
