From 70578ff3367dd4ad8f212a9b5c05cffadabf39a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2022 09:58:03 -0500 Subject: binfmt_flat: Remove shared library support In a recent discussion[1] it was reported that the binfmt_flat library support was only ever used on m68k and even on m68k has not been used in a very long time. The structure of binfmt_flat is different from all of the other binfmt implementations because of this shared library support and it made life and code review more effort when I refactored the code in fs/exec.c. Since in practice the code is dead remove the binfmt_flat shared library support and make maintenance of the code easier.
