Subject: use elfnote.h to generate vsyscall notes.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=810bab448e563ffd1718d78e9a3756806b626acc;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

use elfnote.h to generate vsyscall notes.

Use existing elfnote.h to generate vsyscall notes, rather than doing
it locally.  Changes elfnote.h a bit to suit, since this is the first
asm user, and it wasn't quite right.
