# Convert ELF static PIE to PE/EFI image.

# To do so we simply copy desired ELF sections while preserving their memory layout to ensure that
# code still runs as expected. We then translate ELF relocations to PE relocations so that the EFI
# loader/firmware can properly load the binary to any address at runtime.
#
# To make this as painless as possible we only operate on static PIEs as they should only contain
# base relocations that are easy to handle as they have a one-to-one mapping to PE relocations.
#
# EDK2 does a similar process using their GenFw tool. The main difference is that they use the
# --emit-relocs linker flag, which emits a lot of different (static) ELF relocation types that have
# to be handled differently for each architecture and is overall more work than its worth.
#
# Note that on arches where binutils has PE support (x86/x86_64 mostly, aarch64 only recently)
# objcopy can be used to convert ELF to PE. But this will still not convert ELF relocations, making
# the resulting binary useless. gnu-efi relies on this method and contains a stub that performs the
# ELF dynamic relocations at runtime.
