Subject: [PATCH v2 16/22] tools/nolibc: add auxiliary vector retrieval for arm
Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2023 08:24:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230110072434.3863-17-w@1wt.eu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230110072434.3863-1-w@1wt.eu>

In the _start block we now iterate over envp to find the auxiliary
vector after the NULL. The pointer is saved into an _auxv variable
that is marked as weak so that it's accessible from multiple units.

Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>

It was tested in arm, thumb1 and thumb2 modes.
