From 632dd2053a1146c826ceb6f26ab689389c05e751 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 02:01:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Kcore elf note namesz field fix o As per ELF specifications, it looks like that elf note "namesz" field contains the length of "name" including the size of null character. And currently we are filling "namesz" without taking into the consideration the null character size. o Kexec-tools performs this check deligently hence I ran into the issue while trying to open /proc/kcore in kexec-tools for some info.
