Painful. Can we do this?
Can't stand concise, eh? ;-) Your version is fine with me.
Thanks,

Yes, what prevents userspace daemon watching
Not that the old code did either, so it's not like it's a new bug, but I
thought I'd point it out anyway. As if we care (but you can probably
trigger this by having an app that does
munmap(NULL, TASK_SIZE);
which will cause a SIGSEGV on return (because the stack doesn't exist) and
These patches allow the binaries which absolutely require that
their address space layout to be unaffected by address space
randomisation to specify that in their ELF header.
The first part defines the ELF header flag, the second implements
the corresponding part of the interpreter functionality.

Define the ELF binary header flag EF_AS_NO_RANDOM
EF_AS_NO_RANDOM should mean that the binary requests to not apply
randomisation to address spaces of its processes.
