Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] MdeModulePkg: define PCD for DXE memory protection policy
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2017 15:04:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1487948699-3179-5-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1487948699-3179-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

Define a new fixed/patchable PCD that sets the DXE memory protection
policy: its primary use is to define which memory types should have
their executable permissions removed. Combined with the image protection
policy, this can be used to implement a strict W^X policy, i.e.. a policy
where no regions exist that are both executable and writable at the same
time.
