From 1c0d52b9b5e6ca277c13d6fece9c34ed3159423d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Daney Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2010 17:43:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Don't clobber personality high bits. The high bits of current->personality carry settings that we don't want to clobber on each exec. Only clobber them if the lower bits that indicate either PER_LINUX or PER_LINUX32 are invalid. The clobbering prevents us from using useful bits like ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.
