Hi Max,

binfmt_flat loader uses the gap between text and data to store data segment pointers for the libraries. Even in the absence of shared libraries it stores at least one pointer to the executable's own data segment. Text and data can go back to back in the flat binary image and without offsetting data segment last few instructions in the text segment may get corrupted by the data segment pointer.

Yep, your right, it does.

I will push this into the m68knommu git tree next week (once the merge window is closed), and make sure it gets to Linus for rc series soon after that.

Thanks Greg

Fix it by reverting commit a2357223c50a ("binfmt_flat: don't offset the data start").
