Hi,
	Im not sure if this is the right list to ask that question but,
the function load_elf_binary calls clear_user on elf_bss and there's a comment 
saying:

/*
 * This bss-zeroing can fail if the ELF
 * file specifies odd protections. So
 * we don't check the return value
 */

what I would like to know is what these odd protections are and if/how they can be checked on a given elf file.

I hope my question is clear.

thanks
