When creating EFI binaries, the alignment of the text section isn't correctly factored in. As a result trying to load signed EFI binaries throws an error with:
efi_image_region_add() efi_image_region_add: new region already part of another Image not authenticated
Running the binary through sbverify has a similar warning sbverify ./lib/efi_loader/helloworld.efi warning: gap in section table: .text : 0x00001000 - 0x00001c00, .data : 0x00002000 - 0x00002200, gaps in the section table may result in different checksums warning: data remaining[7680 vs 12720]: gaps between PE/COFF sections? .....
If we include the alignment in the text section, the signed binary boots fine, and the relevant sbverify warning goes away sbverify ./lib/efi_loader/helloworld.efi warning: data remaining[8704 vs 12720]: gaps between PE/COFF sections? .....
We should look into the remaining warning at some point as well regarding the gaps between PE/COFF sections.
