Alexey Dobriyan 1f83d80677 fs/binfmt_elf.c: smaller code generation around auxv vector fill
Filling auxv vector as array with index (auxv[i++] = ...) generates
terrible code.  "saved_auxv" should be reworked because it is the worst
member of mm_struct by size/usefullness ratio but do it later.

Meanwhile help gcc a little with *auxv++ idiom.

Space savings on x86_64:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-127 (-127)
	Function                                     old     new   delta
	load_elf_binary                             5470    5343    -127

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.

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.
