Subject: [s390x] Patch for execve with a mode switch
Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2003 19:25:28 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030315192528.A30182@devserv.devel.redhat.com> (raw)

If I boot an s390x kernel over a 31 bit userland, /sbin/init segfaults
in the dynamic linker. This happens because mm->free_area_cache
is set with TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE macro, which needs the TIF_31BIT
set right. Setting TIF_31BIT in ELF_PLAT_INIT is way too late
for this.

The patch below basically ports what sparc64 does to s390x,
according to the Andrew Morton's comment in fs/binfmt_elf.c.
To tell the truth, I actually use equivalent of this on 2.4,
but I think it's important to get stock 2.5 right.

Martin, please consider and let me know what you think.

Greetings,
-- Pete
