elf, uapi: Remove struct tag 'dynamic'
Such a generic struct tag shouldn't have been exposed in a public header. Since it's undocumented, we can assume it's a historical accident. And since no software (at least on Debian) relies on this tag, we can safely remove it. Here are the results of a Debian Code Search[1]: $ # packages that contain 'include [<"]linux/elf\.h[">]' $ curl -s https://codesearch.debian.net/results/e5e7c74dfcdae609/packages.txt > include $ # packages that contain '\bstruct dynamic\b' $ curl -s https://codesearch.debian.net/results/b23577e099048c6a/packages.txt > struct $ cat struct include | sort | uniq -d chromium hurd linux qemu qt6-webengine qtwebengine-opensource-src $ # chromium: Seems to hold a copy of the UAPI header. No uses of the tag. $ # hurd: Same thing as chromium. $ # linux: :) $ # qemu: Same thing as chromium. $ # qt6-webengine: Same thing as all. $ # qtwebengine-opensource-src: Yet another copy.
