-Subject: [PATCH] fs: binfmt_elf_efpic: fix personality for non-fdpic ELF
+Subject: [PATCH] fs: binfmt_elf_efpic: fix personality for fdpic ELF
The elf-fdpic loader hard sets the process personality to either
PER_LINUX_FDPIC for true elf-fdpic binaries or to PER_LINUX for
normal ELF binaries (in this case they would be constant displacement
compiled with -pie for example). The problem with that is that it
will lose any other bits that may be in the ELF header personality
-("the "bug emulation" bits).
+(such as the "bug emulation" bits).
On the ARM architecture the ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT flag is used to signify
a normal 32bit binary - as opposed to a legacy 26bit address binary.
This matters since start_thread() will set the ARM CPSR register as
-required based on this flag. If the elf-fdpic loader has lost this
-bit the process will be mis-configured and crash out pretty quickly.
