Subject: [PATCH v7 20/22] efistub/x86: Remap inittext read-execute when needed
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2025 12:22:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250828102202.1849035-44-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250828102202.1849035-24-ardb+git@google.com>

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

Recent EFI x86 systems are more strict when it comes to mapping boot
images, and require that mappings are either read-write or read-execute.

Now that the boot code is being cleaned up and refactored, most of it is
being moved into .init.text [where it arguably belongs] but that implies
that when booting on such strict EFI firmware, we need to take care to
map .init.text (and the .altinstr_aux section that follows it)
read-execute as well.
