/*
 * This file is used to generate a note describing the code model in use by
 * the compiler on some architectures where this has consequences for the
 * VA layout applied by the kernel. On sparc64 the topdown VA layout can
 * only be enabled for processes compiled with -mcmodel=medany or greater,
 * but not for processes without this note or -mcmodel=medlow.
 *
 * The note looks similar to the .note.netbsd.march note used (for example)
 * on arm to note the ABI used by the process.
 *
 * [NOTE HEADER]
 *	long		name size
 *	long		content size
 *	long		note type
 *
 * [NOTE DATUM]
 *	string		code model (for sparc64: medlow, medmid, medany,
 *			the embedany model is never PIC, so not used here)
 *
 * The DATUM fields should be padded out such that their actual (not
 * declared) sizes % 4 == 0.
