[PATCH 3/3] binfmt_elf: Search an unmapped area with total_size but not map the whole image

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

 



In elf_map(), we can search an unmapped area for the whole image of dynamic
loader with total_size, then map the first PT_LOAD segment with its own size.
But not map the while image, then unmap the remainder at the end.

And also update the code comment in elf_map() accordingly.
