+# EFI Startup Code and Linker Script
+
+This dir contains source code and linker script copied from
+[GNU-EFI](https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnu-efi/):
+   - crt0-efi-x86_64.S: startup code of an EFI application
+   - elf_x86_64_efi.lds: linker script to build an EFI application
+   - reloc_x86_64.c: position independent x86_64 ELF shared object relocator
+
+EFI application binaries should be relocatable as UEFI loads binaries to dynamic
+runtime addresses. To build such relocatable binaries, GNU-EFI utilizes the
+above-mentioned files in its build process:
+
+   1. build an ELF shared object and link it using linker script
+      `elf_x86_64_efi.lds` to organize the sections in a way UEFI recognizes
+   2. link the shared object with self-relocator `reloc_x86_64.c` that applies
+      dynamic relocations that may be present in the shared object
+   3. link the entry point code `crt0-efi-x86_64.S` that invokes self-relocator
+      and then jumps to EFI application's `efi_main()` function
+   4. convert the shared object to an EFI binary
+
+More details can be found in `GNU-EFI/README.gnuefi`, section "Building
+Relocatable Binaries".
+
+kvm-unit-tests follows a similar build process, but does not link with GNU-EFI
+library.
