Add a new configuration option CONFIG_BINFMT_SCRIPT to configure support for interpreted scripts starting with "#!"; allow compiling out that support, or building it as a module. Embedded systems running exclusively compiled binaries could leave this support out, and systems that don't need scripts before mounting the root filesystem can build this as a module. Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Note when testing this that many shells implement support for shell scripts themselves, so try it with something like #!/bin/cat instead. fs/Kconfig.binfmt | 14 ++++++++++++++ fs/Makefile | 5 +---- 2 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/Kconfig.binfmt b/fs/Kconfig.binfmt index 0efd152..370b24c 100644 --- a/fs/Kconfig.binfmt +++ b/fs/Kconfig.binfmt @@ -65,6 +65,20 @@ config CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS This config option changes the default setting of coredump_filter seen at boot time.
