Title:
  loader/efi/peimage.c:210:peimage: NX policy violation

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Version: 2.12-5ubuntu5

  I am using vendor U-Boot to load
  /usr/lib/grub/riscv64-efi/monolithic/grubriscv64.efi as payload.

  My kernel has the following sections:

  Section[0]: .text
    Virtual size: 0xfff000
    Virtual address: 0x1000
    Size of raw data: 0xfff000
    Pointer to raw data: 0x1000
    End of raw data: 0x1000000
    Characteristics: 0x60000020
      * The section contains executable code.
      * The section can be executed as code.
      * The section can be read.
  Section[1]: .data
    Virtual size: 0x146e000
    Virtual address: 0x1000000
    Size of raw data: 0x12df000
    Pointer to raw data: 0x1000000
    End of raw data: 0x22df000
    Characteristics: 0xc0000040
      * The section contains initialized data.
      * The section can be read.
      * The section can be written to.

  So there is no section that is both executable and writable. But GRUB
  produces this error:

  As of v6.11 Linux does not set the IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_NX_COMPAT
  flag in arch/riscv/kernel/efi-header.S (DLL Characteristics =
  0x0000).
