[v3] Automatically set NXCOMPAT bit if requirements are met

[edk2-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] Automatically set NXCOMPAT bit if requirements are met

Posted by Joey Vagedes via groups.io 9 months, 2 weeks ago

v3: Updates function to be Doxygen compliant
v3: Updates commit message

v2: Adds --nonxcompat flag to GenFw; updates man page
v2: Updates PeImage.h to reference spec 9.3 rather then 8.3

Utilize GenFw to automatically set the NXCOMPAT bit of the DLL Characteristics
field of the Optional Header if the following requirements are met:

1. It is a 64bit PE
2. The section alignment is evently divisible by 4K
3. No section is both EFI_IMAGE_SCN_MEM_EXECUTE and EFI_IMAGE_SCN_MEM_WRITE
