    cross-arch: don't corrupt personality flags upon exec() · 16f3e95b
    Jiri Kosina authored
    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 f9783ec8 ("[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on
    exec") and 59e4c3a2
    
     ("powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on
    exec") in a similar way already).
