Subject: [PATCH 07/19] elf: create elf_open_binary_into()
Date: Mon, 05 Jan 2026 12:26:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260105-pbl-load-elf-v1-7-e97853f98232@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260105-pbl-load-elf-v1-0-e97853f98232@pengutronix.de>
elf_open_binary() returns a dynamically allocated struct elf_image *. We
do not have malloc in the PBL, so for better PBL support create
elf_open_binary_into() which takes a struct elf_image * as argument.
