This is a follow up to the series I sent out a week ago: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.edk2.devel/2162
These two patches only address the special case in GenFw for ARM where it allows sections that are not aligned to the PE/COFF global section alignment, to interoperate with a size optimization in RVCT that emits sections at an offset that is not aligned to their own alignment. This violates the PE/COFF spec, and complicates the creation of DXE runtime modules with 4 KB section alignment. As it turns out, this optimization can be disabled by passing the --no_legacyalign command line option to the RVCT linker, so instead of patching things up, this time I simply disable the optimization. Patch #1 removes the optimization from the 64-bit ELF code, since RVCT is 32-bit only. Patch #2 disables the optimization, and removes the implementation of the special case from the 32-bit ELF code. Anyone with access to RVCT able to test this? I would highly appreciate it.
