Subject: [2.6 patch] disallow modular BINFMT_ELF
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2003 00:26:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031115232600.GF7919@fs.tum.de> (raw)

modular BINFMT_ELF gives unresolved symbols in 2.4 .

modular BINFMT_ELF gives the following unresolved symbols in 2.6:

<--  snip  -->

WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.0-test9-mm3/kernel/fs/binfmt_elf.ko needs 
unknown symbol __kernel_vsyscall

<--  snip  -->


Since modular BINFMT_ELF is pretty pathological I'd suggest the 
following patch:

--- linux-2.6.0-test9-mm3/fs/Kconfig.binfmt.old	2003-11-15 23:43:24.000000000 +0100
+++ linux-2.6.0-test9-mm3/fs/Kconfig.binfmt	2003-11-15 23:43:49.000000000 +0100
