About kernel upgrade

Question

If I upgrade the kernel,will old binaries use new version of .so or still the old version?

UPDATE

Why kernel has nothing to do with .so?

The kernel has nothing to do with the version of any shared objects.

EDIT:

Because the kernel is the kernel and shared objects are shared objects.

	Do you mean kernel upgrade only modifies `/proc/kcore` ? – kernel Apr 5 '11 at 3:39
	The kernel upgrade only changes the kernel and what comes with it. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Apr 5 '11 at 3:41
	Doesn't `what comes with it` include shared objects? – kernel Apr 5 '11 at 3:45
	Only the VDSO stuff, which you don't have to care about. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Apr 5 '11 at 3:47
	OK,I got that now,thanks!But what if a specific `.so` is upgraded,will the old binaries that depend on it use new version automatically? – kernel Apr 5 '11 at 3:57
