Looks good to me

Le jeu. 18 août 2022, 16:54, Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> a écrit :
The PE/COFF spec permits the COFF signature and file header to appear
anywhere in the file, and the actual offset is recorded in 4 byte
little endian field at offset 0x3c of the image.

When GRUB is emitted as a PE/COFF binary, we reuse the 128 byte MS-DOS
stub (even for non-x86 architectures), putting the COFF signature and
file header at offset 0x80. However, other PE/COFF images may use
different values, and non-x86 Linux kernels use an offset of 0x40
instead.

So let's get rid of the grub_pe32_header struct from pe32.h, given that
it does not represent anything defined by the PE/COFF spec. Instead,
use the GRUB_PE32_MSDOS_STUB_SIZE macro explicitly to reference the
COFF header in the only place in the code where we rely on this.

The remaining fields are moved into a struct grub_coff_image_header,
which we will use later to access COFF header fields of arbitrary
images (and which may therefore appear at different offsets)
