I seem to have a different copy of this patch from the one which you
originally sent. It's the one which implements arch_randomize_brk() in
each arch's header file. Mayeb it wasn't cc'ed to a mailing list of maybe
I just lost the email, dunno.
Anyway, it breaks on ia64:
CC arch/ia64/ia32/binfmt_elf32.o
In file included from arch/ia64/ia32/binfmt_elf32.c:49:
arch/ia64/ia32/../../../fs/binfmt_elf.c: In function `load_elf_binary':
arch/ia64/ia32/../../../fs/binfmt_elf.c:1085: error: implicit declaration of
function `arch_randomize_brk'
make[1]: *** [arch/ia64/ia32/binfmt_elf32.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/ia64/ia32/binfmt_elf32.o] Error 2
This is because ia64 takes the exceptional stupidity which is our
elf-handling build system and adds an extra layer of stupidity on top of
it. Look:
akpm2:/usr/src/25> head include/asm-ia64/elf.h
#ifndef _ASM_IA64_ELF_H
#define _ASM_IA64_ELF_H
/*
* ELF-specific definitions.
*
* Copyright (C) 1998-1999, 2002-2004 Hewlett-Packard Co
* David Mosberger-Tang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
*/
akpm2:/usr/src/25> grep -r _ASM_IA64_ELF_H arch/ia64
arch/ia64/ia32/ia32priv.h:#define _ASM_IA64_ELF_H /* Don't
include elf.h */
can you believe this stuff?
Anyway, I'm presently running with this loveliness:
--- a/include/asm-ia64/elf.h~i386-and-x86_64-randomize-brk-2-fix

Wanna see if there's something saner we can do please?
