Subject: [PATCH] nx: set the nx compatible flag in EFI grub images
fd0330
fd0330
For NX, we need the grub binary to announce that it is compatible with
fd0330
the NX feature.  This implies that when loading the executable grub
fd0330
image, several attributes are true:
fd0330
fd0330
- the binary doesn't need an executable stack
fd0330
- the binary doesn't need sections to be both executable and writable
fd0330
- the binary knows how to use the EFI Memory Attributes protocol on code
fd0330
  it is loading.
fd0330
fd0330
This patch adds a definition for the PE DLL Characteristics flag
fd0330
GRUB_PE32_NX_COMPAT, and changes grub-mkimage to set that flag.
