[PATCH v4 2/6] binfmt_elf: elf_bss no longer used by load_elf_binary()
From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2023-09-29 03:24:58
Also in:
linux-fsdevel, linux-hardening, lkml
Subsystem:
exec & binfmt api, elf, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers:

With the BSS handled generically via the new filesz/memsz mismatch handling logic in elf_load(), elf_bss no longer needs to be tracked. Drop the variable.
