Subject: [RFC PATCH] UAPI: Document auxvec AT_* namespace policy and note reservations
There are constraints on defining AT_* auxvec tags that are not
obvious to the casual maintainer of either the global
<uapi/linux/auxvec.h> or the arch-specific headers. This is likely
to lead to mistakes. (I certainly fell foul of it...)
For the benefit of future maintainers, this patch collects the
relevant information in one place, documenting how the namespace
needs to be managed, and noting all the values currently in use.
Maintaining a global list may result in some merge conflicts, but
AT_* values are not added frequently. I'm open to suggestions on
the best approach.
I also assume that values 38 and 39 may have been used for
historical purposes, such as an architecture that is no longer
supported. If they have definitely never been used for anything,
they could be removed from the "reserved" list.
