If you have time, please review the two patches against 2.3.20:
1. http://www.ocston.org/~tigran/patches/execdomains-2.3.20.patch
Adds /proc/execdomains support, to list all supported exec domains,
personality ranges and whether it is the base kernel [kernel] or a
module [module_name] that provides the support:
# cat /proc/execdomains
5-5 ISC [abi_ibcs]
7-7 Xenix [abi_ibcs]
3-3 OpenServer [abi_ibcs]
1-2 iBCS2 [abi_ibcs]
0-0 Linux [kernel]
# ls -l /proc/execdomains
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 158 Oct 10 15:54 /proc/execdomains
Uses lazy /proc file size update in the spirit of /proc/mtrr.
2. http://www.ocston.org/~tigran/patches/binfmt-2.3.20.patch
A simple optimization for ELF magic check along the lines of:
- if (elf_ex.e_ident[0] != 0x7f ||
- strncmp(&elf_ex.e_ident[1], "ELF", 3) != 0)
+ if (strncmp(elf_ex.e_ident, ELFMAG, SELFMAG))
(I hope it doesn't break non-intel-endian worlds, but you tell me!)
Thank you,
Tigran.
