Subject: [PATCH] arm64/efi: set PE/COFF file alignment to 512 bytes
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2014 18:58:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1412960335-22905-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)

Change our PE/COFF header to use the minimum file alignment of
512 bytes (0x200), as mandated by the PE/COFF spec v8.3

Also update the linker script so that the Image file itself is also a
round multiple of FileAlignment.

Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

Another one from the PE/COFF rabbit hole. I will follow up next week and repost
as a coherent series, once I have collected all the feedback.
