[PATCH 3/5] exec: Remove recursion from search_binary_handler

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

 



Instead of recursing in search_binary_handler have the methods that
would recurse return a positive value, and simply loop in exec_binprm.

This is a trivial change as all of the methods that would recurse do
so as effectively the last thing they do.   Making this a trivial code
change.
