Subject: PATCH: Define auxiliary vector size, AT_VECTOR_SIZE
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2005 14:05:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050726210556.GA4663@lucon.org> (raw)
The size of auxiliary vector is fixed at 42 in linux/sched.h. But
it isn't very obvious when looking at linux/elf.h. This patch adds
AT_VECTOR_SIZE so that we can change it if necessary when a new
vector is added.
H.J.
