[PATCH v2] efi: Config options to assign versions in the PE-COFF header

Gary Lin glin at suse.com
Wed Apr 12 23:58:27 EDT 2017


This commit adds the new config options to allow the user to modify the
following fields in the PE-COFF header.

UINT16 MajorOperatingSystemVersion
UINT16 MinorOperatingSystemVersion
UINT16 MajorImageVersion
UINT16 MinorImageVersion

Those fields are mainly for the executables or libraries in Windows NT
or higher to specify the minimum supported Windows version and the
version of the image itself.

Given the fact that those fields are ignored in UEFI, we can safely reuse
those fields for other purposes, e.g. Security Version(*).

v2 changes:
- Modify the header direct instead of using an external script as
  suggested by Ard Biesheuvel
- Include arm and arm64
