[PATCH] elf: align AT_RANDOM bytes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



AT_RANDOM content is always misaligned on x86_64:

	$ LD_SHOW_AUXV=1 /bin/true | grep AT_RANDOM
	AT_RANDOM:       0x7fff02101019

glibc copies first few bytes for stack protector stuff, aligned
access should be slightly faster.
