binfmt_elf: Calculate total_size earlier
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In preparation to support PT_LOAD with large p_align values on
non-PT_INTERP ET_DYN executables (i.e. "static pie"), we'll need to use
the total_size details earlier. Move this separately now to make the
next patch more readable. As total_size and load_bias are currently
calculated separately, this has no behavioral impact.
