Subject: [PATCH] Make <linux/personality.h> userspace proof
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 16:55:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061017155526.GA9888@linux-mips.org> (raw)
<linux/personality.h> contains the constants for personality(2) but also
some defintions that are useless or even harmful in userspace such as
the personality() macro.
