So, DSC BuildOptions extension is added to configure it. In future, if more and more platforms enable it, we could figure out the solution to extent tools_def.txt to configure those settings as the default one. > Building DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER modules with 4 KB section alignment does not break older OSes, so it makes sense to at least have the plumbing implemented in BaseTools in an elegant way. What does break older OSes is actually splitting the PE/COFF image into separate memory regions. This is not such a concern for AARCH64 since it is still new, so I am pushing for it to be enabled when possible. (It does break on the current upstream Linux kernel, but I have some patches on the list that fix that) Regards, Ard. > From: Jordan Justen [mailto:jordan.l.justen@intel.com] > Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2015 3:04 PM > To: Andrew Fish; edk2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [edk2] [PATCH] BaseTools: fix a syntax error in 4 KB aligned GNU ld linker script > > On 2015-07-01 23:22:37, Andrew Fish wrote: >> > On Jul 1, 2015, at 11:08 PM, Jordan Justen <jordan.l.justen@intel.com> wrote: >> > >> >> On 2015-07-01 22:35:12, Gao, Liming wrote: >> >> Ard: >> >> Good to know --script option can be appended and work fine. >> > >> > So, --script will be specified twice to ld.
