Subject: [PATCH 3/5] efi/x86: Add kernel preferred address to PE header
Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2020 18:05:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200301230537.2247550-4-nivedita@alum.mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200301230537.2247550-1-nivedita@alum.mit.edu>
Store the kernel's link address as ImageBase in the PE header. Note that
the PE specification requires the ImageBase to be 64k aligned. The
preferred address should almost always satisfy that, except for 32-bit
kernel if the configuration has been customized.
