From 02e92066fc72f4a985f0da0ee68dc1fb4d78bad6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heinrich Schuchardt Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2025 22:59:22 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] riscv: efi: Set NX compat flag in PE/COFF header BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2099996 [ Upstream commit d41373a4b910961df5a5e3527d7bde6ad45ca438 ] The IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_NX_COMPAT informs the firmware that the EFI binary does not rely on pages that are both executable and writable. The flag is used by some distro versions of GRUB to decide if the EFI binary may be executed. As the Linux kernel neither has RWX sections nor needs RWX pages for relocation we should set the flag.
