Hi,
this feature is really needed and requested by several binfmt_misc
users. It is difficult to manage this at user level without this
information.
I've found that someone else tried to address this problem in the past
in the same way:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10902935/
Can a maintainer/reviewer have a look at this and agrees or disagrees?
I will update getauxval(3) manual page with the new flags in the case
one of these patches is merged.
Thanks,
Laurent

We really need it. since qemu-user mode have no other choice to get the info about whether P flag is set.

Hi,
this change is simple, easy to read and understand but it is really
needed by user space application interpreter to know the status of the
system configuration.
Could we have a comment saying if there is a problem or if it is good to
be merged?
Thanks,
Laurent

FWIW, one thing that looks worrying here is that these bits become
userland ABI after this patch - specific values passed in that thing
can't be changed. And no a single mention of that in fs/binfmt_misc.c,
leaving a nasty trap. As far as one can tell, their values are fair game
for reordering, etc. - not even visible outside of fs/binfmt_misc.c;
purely internal constants. And the effect of such modifications after
your patch will not be "everything breaks, patch gets caught by somebody's
tests" - it will be a quiet breakage for some users.

IOW, you are making those parts of userland ABI cast in stone forever.
Whether this bit assignment does make sense or not, such things really
should not be hidden.

Thank you for your answer.
So I think the patch from YunQiang Su is a better approach than mine,
much cleaner, see:
binfmt_misc: pass info about P flag by AT_FLAGS
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10902935/
It does the same thing as my patch but uses a dedicated value for AT_FLAGS.
Perhaps YunQiang can send a new version (without the kdebug() part)?
Thanks,
Laurent
