From 16f3e95b3209c4d9080e3a3c6bb9955a0e7cfa95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2012 17:12:20 -0700 Subject: cross-arch: don't corrupt personality flags upon exec() Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific architectures. We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the personality flags across exec(). This patch tries to fix all architectures that forcefully overwrite personality flags during exec() (ppc32 and s390 have been fixed recently by commits f9783ec862ea ("[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on exec") and 59e4c3a2fe9c ("powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on exec") in a similar way already).
