Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] BaseTools GenFw: Keep read only alloc section as text section when convert ELF

This is the fix of the regression issue at c6b872c6.
Based on ELF spec, readonly alloc section is .rodata section. It is requried.
This fix is to add back original check logic for ELF section. Now, the readonly alloc section and execute alloc section are regarded as .text section.

 With this fix, previous fix commit ec1cffd9 is not required. But, the checker added  by commit ec1cffd9 is correct for ACPI data conversion. So, I don't plan to revert it.
