Hi Greg,
Couple of minor nits.
I think it is a good idea to give more data in warning which tells why
are we dropping a note entry. May be something like.
"Warning: Total note entry size exceeded PT_NOTE memsz. Dropping PT_NOTE entry,
n_namesz=<> n_descsz=<>".
Secondly, if there is only on note entry in a PT_NOTE header and we drop
it, then that PT_NOTE header is empty and needs to be cleaned up.
I think you will have to modify get_note_number_and_size_elf64() and
other relevant functions which are not expecting ->p_memsz=0.
Thanks
Vivek
