[PATCH 6.2 183/240] efi/libstub: zboot: Mark zboot EFI application as NX compatible

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

 



From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit c7d9e628b8ff4d52a365a441bdacb3209ee83c81 upstream.

Now that the zboot loader will invoke the EFI memory attributes protocol
to remap the decompressed code and rodata as read-only/executable, we
can set the PE/COFF header flag that indicates to the firmware that the
application does not rely on writable memory being executable at the
same time.
