Subject: [PATCH v2 06/23] binfmt_misc: turn the entry bit numbers into a proper enum
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:30:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-work-binfmt_misc-locking-v2-6-2a1c3d4126a7@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-work-binfmt_misc-locking-v2-0-2a1c3d4126a7@kernel.org>

Enabled and Magic are bit numbers in the flags word of an entry but
are declared as bare, unprefixed enumerators with implicit values in
a style that predates the git history. Give the enum a name, explicit
bit numbers and namespaced names and use BIT() instead of open-coding
the shifts when building the initial flags word in create_entry().

No functional change.
