From 1efc563865dbc3710c5af7bc1540360a6d06192c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Bailey Date: Sat, 17 May 2014 15:05:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Clear ELF personality flag if ELFv2 is not requested. powerpc: Clear ELF personality flag if ELFv2 is not requested. The POWER kernel uses a personality flag to determine whether it should be setting up function descriptors or not (per the updated ABI). This flag wasn't being cleared on a new process but instead was being inherited. The visible effect was that an ELFv2 binary could not execve to an ELFv1 binary.
