Subject: Re: [PATCH] binfmt_elf: Do not move brk for INTERP-less ET_EXEC
Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2019 20:26:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cfdb3b68100025288177da8a963bc909@kojedz.in> (raw)

Thanks for the quick patch. It seems my binaries start up well, and work 
as expected, as before.

Thanks again for the quick response.

Regards,
Richard Kojedzinszky
