The PE/COFF header has a NX compat flag which informs the firmware that the application does not rely on memory regions being mapped with both executable and writable permissions at the same time. This is typically used by the firmware to decide whether it can set the NX attribute on all allocations it returns, but going forward, it may be used to enforce a policy that only permits applications with the NX flag set to be loaded to begin wiht in some configurations, e.g., when Secure Boot is in effect. Even though the arm64 version of the EFI stub may relocate the kernel before executing it, it always did so after disabling the MMU, and so we were always in line with what the NX compat flag conveys, we just never bothered to set it. So let's set the flag now. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
