From 810bab448e563ffd1718d78e9a3756806b626acc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 18:37:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
