[RFC PATCH 1/3] rseq: Introduce feature size and alignment ELF auxiliary vector entries

Mathieu Desnoyers
2022-02-03T19:39:06Z

Export the rseq feature size supported by the kernel as well as the
required allocation alignment for the rseq per-thread area to user-space
through ELF auxiliary vector entries.

This is part of the extensible rseq ABI.
