Image section alignment does not match required alignment

[theoparis]

Hi. I am trying to write a UEFI bootloader with EDK2 and I am building a aarch64 .efi application using the clangdwarf toolchain (through a llvm trunk build on macOS). I received this error and I haven't been able to find any information about it. Any ideas?

ProtectUefiImageCommon - 0xBDCA6940
  - 0x00000000BD3F8000 - 0x0000000000000340
!!!!!!!!  Image Section Alignment(0x20) does not match Required Alignment (0x1000)  !!!!!!!

Looks like you have memory protections enabled but are not aligning your images to 4K (and for aarch64 you need to align your runtime images to 64k): https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdeModulePkg/Core/Dxe/Misc/MemoryProtection.c#L293.

Either you aren't using the edk2 tools_def.template or it is wrong for CLANGDWARF. You need to ensure that -z common-page-size=0x1000 is the last common-page-size option on the linker flags and for runtime types you can add the below to your DSC:

[BuildOptions.common.DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER]
 *_CLANGDWARF_AARCH64_DLINK_FLAGS = -z common-page-size=0x10000

Required EDKII for me when adding only to the .dsc file

[BuildOptions.common.EDKII.DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER]
 *_GCC5_X64_DLINK_FLAGS = -z common-page-size=0x1000
