Hi maintainers and experts, Any comment about this patchset?
At least for patch 2, I think we can correct it since we do not have to take the total_size way for PIE programs which are MAP_FIXED and are loaded offset from ELF_ET_DYN_BASE. That is making code a little confusing. About patch 3, it's pointed out in an Redhat internal patch reviewing. I am fine if no one like it. If approved, I can update the git log to make it better and repost.
