Exactly.

Well, let's look at ARM, ARM64 in particular. They have defined struct
arch_elf_state without the ifdeffery in
arch/arm64/include/asm/elf.h
and are using that struct in arch_parse_elf_property().
And they have selected ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_STATE just so that they disable
those dummy accessors in fs/binfmt_elf.c
And you're practically glueing together ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_STATE and
ARCH_USE_GNU_PROPERTY. However, all the functionality is for adding
the gnu property note so I think you should select both but only use
ARCH_USE_GNU_PROPERTY in all the ifdeffery in your patch to at least
have this as simple as possible.

Which document is that? Link?

Our defines should at least have a comment pointing to that document.
Thx.
