Subject: [PATCH 16/22] tools/nolibc: add auxiliary vector retrieval for arm
Date:   Mon,  9 Jan 2023 09:42:02 +0100
Message-Id: <20230109084208.27355-17-w@1wt.eu>
In-Reply-To: <20230109084208.27355-1-w@1wt.eu>
References: <20230109084208.27355-1-w@1wt.eu>
Precedence: bulk

In the _start block we now iterate over envp to find the auxiliary
vector after the NULL. The pointer is saved into an _auxv variable
that is marked as weak so that it's accessible from multiple units.

Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>

It was tested in arm, thumb1 and thumb2 modes.
