Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: Remove LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC support [BZ #28656]
Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2021 13:55:50 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211210215550.2546508-1-hjl.tools@gmail.com> (raw)
Remove the LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC environment variable support since
the first PT_LOAD segment is no longer executable due to defaulting to
-z separate-code.
This fixes [BZ #28656].

Major new features:
+* The LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC environment variable support has been
+ removed since the first PT_LOAD segment is no longer executable due
+ to defaulting to -z separate-code.
+
* Unicode 14.0.0 Support: Character encoding, character type info, and
transliteration tables are all updated to Unicode 14.0.0, using
generator scripts contributed by Mike FABIAN (Red Hat).
