Subject: [PATCH 0/4] UefiCpuPkg, OvmfPkf: Simplify CpuExceptionHandlerLib
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2023 15:51:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230330135122.1445353-1-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
We have a special version of CpuExceptionHandlerLib for XCODE5, whose
linker (LLD) does not permit absolute symbol references in read-only
sections.
Instead of fixing this up at runtime (which is done by writing the fixed
up values to the .text section), move the code templates into .data
instead. This way, they can be fixed up by the PE/COFF loader as usual.
Given that this is a net improvement (as we no longer write to the
.text section at runtime), apply the fix for all versions of this
library, and drop the special XCODE5 version entirely.
