[PATCH v4 12/12] binfmt_flat: allow compressed flat binary format to work on MMU systems

From: Nicolas Pitre
Date: Wed Jul 20 2016 - 15:23:35 EST


Let's take the simple and obvious approach by decompressing the binary
into a kernel buffer and then copying it to user space. Those who are
looking for top performance on an MMU system are unlikely to choose this
executable format anyway.
