Omar Sandoval 37e949bd52 proc/kcore: clean up ELF header generation
Currently, the ELF file header, program headers, and note segment are
allocated all at once, in some icky code dating back to 2.3.  Programs
tend to read the file header, then the program headers, then the note
segment, all separately, so this is a waste of effort.  It's cleaner and
more efficient to handle the three separately.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
