[PATCH v5 12/15] binfmt_flat: allow compressed flat binary format to work on MMU systems

From: Nicolas Pitre
Date: Sun Jul 24 2016 - 11:34:26 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.
