[obv] Add AUXV parsing for new AT_RANDOM


Hi,

Linux kernel pre-2.6.29 already contains a new AUXV tag:

+#define AT_RANDOM 25   /* address of 16 random bytes */

http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2008-10/threads.html#00006
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=f06295b44c296c8fb08823a3118468ae343b60f2

Alread did check-in the include/elf/common.h definition:
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2009-03/msg00146.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2009-03/msg00280.html

And now checked-in as obvious also its GDB support:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-cvs/2009-03/msg00100.html

Which fixes `info auxv':
[...]
23   AT_SECURE            Boolean, was exec setuid-like? 0
25   ???                                                 0x7fffffffd689
31   AT_EXECFN            File name of executable        0x7fffffffefe7 "/foo"
[...]
->
[...]
23   AT_SECURE            Boolean, was exec setuid-like? 0
25   AT_RANDOM            Address of 16 random bytes     0x7fffffffd679
31   AT_EXECFN            File name of executable        0x7fffffffefe7 "/foo"
[...]


Thanks,
Jan
