UEFI heavily relies on so-called protocols, which are essentially tables populated with pointers to executable code, and these are invoked indirectly using BR or BLR instructions. This makes the EFI execution context vulnerable to attacks on forward edge control flow, and so it would help if we could enable hardware enforcement (BTI) on CPUs that implement it. So let's no longer disable BTI codegen for the EFI stub, and set the newly introduced PE/COFF header flag when the kernel is built with BTI landing pads.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
