[PATCH 7/7] arm: efi: add PE/COFF debug table to EFI header

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This updates the PE/COFF header to emit the absolute path to the
decompressor vmlinux ELF file into a so-called NB10 Codeview entry.
This is hugely helpful when debugging the firmware->stub handover.
