All AutoGen.obj files consist of global GUID definitions, fixed and patchable PCDs and other data that is essentially read-only at runtime but has not been declared as such for various reasons. By moving these contents to .text we achieve two things: - global GUIDs and other data items which must be constant for correct program operation can no longer be modified, for instance, when running a DXE_RUNTIME_MODULE binary under the OS with the Properties Table feature for memory protection enabled; - the .data section becomes smaller, and may be dropped completely for many XIP modules, which reduces wasted FV space if the PE/COFF section alignment is large.
