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
