[PATCH 1/1] fs/binfmt_elf: Use PT_LOAD p_align values for suitable start address.

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

 



The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings.  This
can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for
file-backed, transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables.

Tested: verified program with -Wl,-z,max-page-size=0x200000 loading
