Subject: [PATCH v3 07/24] binfmt_misc: turn the entry bit numbers into a proper enum
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:33:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-work-binfmt_misc-locking-v3-7-a162f7cb58d6@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-work-binfmt_misc-locking-v3-0-a162f7cb58d6@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.
