+Subject: binfmt_misc: pass binfmt_misc flags to the interpreter
+
+From: Laurent Vivier <laurent@vivier.eu>
+
+commit 2347961b11d4079deace3c81dceed460c08a8fc1 upstream.
+
+It can be useful to the interpreter to know which flags are in use.
+
+For instance, knowing if the preserve-argv[0] is in use would
+allow to skip the pathname argument.
+
+This patch uses an unused auxiliary vector, AT_FLAGS, to add a
+flag to inform interpreter if the preserve-argv[0] is enabled.
+
+Note by Helge Deller:
+The real-world user of this patch is qemu-user, which needs to know
+if it has to preserve the argv[0]. See Debian bug #970460.
