Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] powerpc: Add PowerPC Capabilities ELF note
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2019 12:50:19 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190829155021.2915-1-maxiwell@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

The first patch adds the PowerPC name and the PPC_ELFNOTE_CAPABILITIES
type in the kernel binary ELF note. This type is a bitmap that can be
used to advertise kernel capabilities to userland.

The second patch adds a new documentation file to detail the
ELF Note PowerPC namespace and the PPC_ELFNOTE_CAPABILITIES type.

V2:
* Create the header arch/powerpc/include/asm/elfnote.h with the
  new type PPC_ELFNOTE_CAPABILITIES
* Add documentation file in powerpc dir
