Subject: [PATCH -mm 05/43] compat_binfmt_elf
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 03:54:47 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071220115447.4F8E326F98A@magilla.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: Roland McGrath's message of  Thursday, 20 December 2007 03:52:00 -0800 <20071220115200.C767E26F98A@magilla.localdomain>

This adds fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c, a wrapper around fs/binfmt_elf.c for
32-bit ELF support on 64-bit kernels.  It can replace all the hand-rolled
versions of this that each 32/64 arch has, which are all about the same.

To use this, an arch's asm/elf.h has to define at least a few compat_*
macros that parallel the various macros that fs/binfmt_elf.c uses for
native support.

There is no attempt to deal with compat macros for the core dump format
support.  To use this file, the arch has to define compat_gregset_t for
linux/elfcore-compat.h and #define CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET.  The 32-bit
compatible formats should come automatically from task_user_regset_view
called on a 32-bit task.
