Subject: [PATCHv6 03/13] kexec_file: Introduce routines to parse PE file
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2026 11:24:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260119032424.10781-4-piliu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260119032424.10781-1-piliu@redhat.com>
The incoming patches need to handle UEFI format image, which is in PE
format. Hence introducing some routines here.
