[Severity: High]
The Signed-off-by trailer and Author header use a single-word username
("zhangchujun") rather than a full real name. Per
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, the Developer's Certificate
of Origin requires a known real human name (given and family name) rather
than a single-token handle.
[Severity: Low]
Since this fixes an unchecked malloc() in concat(), should the commit
message include:
Fixes: c9b26b81af9c ("syscalls: add selftest for execveat(2)")
