| |
Linus,
As you know, create_elf_tables in fs/binfmt_elf.c now sets up the list of aux table entries in a buffer on the kernel stack before copying it to the user stack. Unfortunately, while the buffer is big enough for most architectures, it isn't big enough on PPC, which uses 5 extra aux table entries (put on with ARCH_DLINFO). The following patch increases the buffer to be big enough for PPC. (Note that each aux table entry uses two elements of the elf_info array.)
Please apply this to your tree.
Thanks, Paul.
