Subject: [PATCH 1/3] binfmt_elf_fdpic: Support auxvec base platform string.
Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2008 19:35:41 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080806103541.GA5194@linux-sh.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080806103458.GE2610@linux-sh.org>

Commit 483fad1c3fa1060d7e6710e84a065ad514571739 introduces
AT_BASE_PLATFORM, but only implements it for binfmt_elf. Given that
AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE is unconditionally enlarged for us, and it's only
optionally added in for the platforms that set ELF_BASE_PLATFORM, wire
it up for binfmt_elf_fdpic, too.

Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
