Is there any kernel patch that would allow Linux to properly recognize, and execute gzipped executables?
I know I could use binfmt_misc to run a wrapper script:
decompress to /tmp/prog.decompressed execute /tmp/prog.decompressed rm /tmp/prog.decompressed
But that's not as clean, secure, or fast as the kernel transparently decompressing & executing. Is there a better way to do this?
