[patch 02/60] arch_setup_additional_pages arguments

From: Martin Schwidefsky
Date: Thu Nov 27 2008 - 05:33:37 EST


From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>

arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary
format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable
stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could
be removed without replacement.

What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process
uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything
from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for
statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not
to map the vdso.
