From cad27ef27ef7d897893b921c86337a8cc9d0cd0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2017 19:00:51 +0000 Subject: arm64: efi: split Image code and data into separate PE/COFF sections To prevent unintended modifications to the kernel text (malicious or otherwise) while running the EFI stub, describe the kernel image as two separate sections: a .text section with read-execute permissions, covering .text, .rodata and .init.text, and a .data section with read-write permissions, covering .init.data, .data and .bss. This relies on the firmware to actually take the section permission flags into account, but this is something that is currently being implemented in EDK2, which means we will likely start seeing it in the wild between one and two years from now.
