From da1a679cde9b12d6e331f43d2d92a234f2d1f9b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 01:48:39 -0700 Subject: Add /sys/kernel/notes This patch adds the /sys/kernel/notes magic file. Reading this delivers the contents of the kernel's .notes section. This lets userland easily glean any detailed information about the running kernel's build that was stored there at compile time.
