From 5e143436d04465c937c1a242808a99c46393af3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 04:59:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 6878/1: fix personality flag propagation across an exec Our SET_PERSONALITY() implementation was overwriting all existing personality flags, including ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, making them unavailable to processes being exec'd after a call to personality() in user space. This prevents the gdb test suite from running successfully.
