Sai Praneeth 18141e89a7 x86/efi: Add support for EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE
UEFI v2.6 introduces EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE which describes memory
protections that may be applied to the EFI Runtime code and data regions by
the kernel. This enables the kernel to map these regions more strictly thereby
increasing security.

Presently, the only valid bits for the attribute field of a memory descriptor
are EFI_MEMORY_RO and EFI_MEMORY_XP, hence use these bits to update the
mappings in efi_pgd.

The UEFI specification recommends to use this feature instead of
EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE and hence while updating EFI mappings we first
check for EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE and if it's present we update
the mappings according to this table and hence disregarding
EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE even if it's published by the firmware. We consider
EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE only when EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE is absent.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
