Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] binfmt_elf: Support segments with 0 filesz and misaligned starts

Hi,

This is the continuation of the work Eric started for handling
"p_memsz > p_filesz" in arbitrary segments (rather than just the last,
BSS, segment). I've added the suggested changes:

 - drop unused "elf_bss" variable
 - report padzero() errors when PROT_WRITE is present
 - refactor load_elf_interp() to use elf_load()

This passes my quick smoke tests, but I'm still trying to construct some
more complete tests...

  binfmt_elf: Support segments with 0 filesz and misaligned starts

Kees Cook (3):
  binfmt_elf: elf_bss no longer used by load_elf_binary()
  binfmt_elf: Provide prot bits as context for padzero() errors
  binfmt_elf: Use elf_load() for interpreter
