[PATCH v4 5/6] binfmt_elf: Only report padzero() errors when PROT_WRITE

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

 



Errors with padzero() should be caught unless we're expecting a
pathological (non-writable) segment. Report -EFAULT only when PROT_WRITE
is present.

Additionally add some more documentation to padzero(), elf_map(), and
elf_load().
