[PATCH] binfmt_elf: clearing bss may fail

Pavel Machek authored 20 years ago


So we discover that Borland's Kylix application builder emits weird elf
files which describe a non-writeable bss segment.

So remove the clear_user() check at the place where we zero out the bss.  I
don't _think_ there are any security implications here (plus we've never
checked that clear_user() return value, so whoops if it is a problem).
