Add /sys/kernel/notes (da1a679c) · Commits · 戴 / test

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. Signed-off-by:
