[Devel] [PATCH 11/11] x86/mm: Make in_compat_syscall() work during exec

The x86 mmap() code selects the mmap base for an allocation depending on
the bitness of the syscall. For 64bit sycalls it select mm->mmap_base and
for 32bit mm->mmap_compat_base.

On execve the registers of the task invoking exec() are copied to the child
pt_regs. So child->pt_regs->orig_ax contains the execve syscall number of the
parent.

exec() calls mmap() which in turn uses in_compat_syscall() to check whether
the mapping is for a 32bit or a 64bit task. The decision is made on the
following criteria:

  ia32	  child->thread.status & TS_COMPAT
   x32	  child->pt_regs.orig_ax & __X32_SYSCALL_BIT
  ia64	  !ia32 && !x32

child->thread.status is corretly set up in set_personality_*(), but the
syscall number in child->pt_regs.orig_ax is left unmodified.

Therefore the parent/child combinations work or fail in the following way:

Parent Child Child->thread_status  child->pt_regs.orig_ax  in_compat()  Works
ia64    ia64   TS_COMPAT == 0	   __X32_SYSCALL_BIT == 0     false       Y
ia64    ia32   TS_COMPAT == 1	   __X32_SYSCALL_BIT == 0     true        Y
ia64     x32   TS_COMPAT == 0	   __X32_SYSCALL_BIT == 0     false       N
ia32    ia64   TS_COMPAT == 0	   __X32_SYSCALL_BIT == 0     false       Y
ia32    ia32   TS_COMPAT == 1	   __X32_SYSCALL_BIT == 0     true        Y
ia32     x32   TS_COMPAT == 0	   __X32_SYSCALL_BIT == 0     false       N
 x32    ia64   TS_COMPAT == 0	   __X32_SYSCALL_BIT == 1     true        N
 x32    ia32   TS_COMPAT == 1	   __X32_SYSCALL_BIT == 1     true        Y
 x32     x32   TS_COMPAT == 0	   __X32_SYSCALL_BIT == 1     true        Y

Make set_personality_*() store the syscall number incl. __X32_SYSCALL_BIT
which corresponds to the newly started ELF executable in the childs
pt_regs, i.e. pretend that the exec was invoked from a task with the same
executable format.

So both thread.status and pt_regs.orig_ax correspond to the new ELF format
and in_compat_syscall() returns the correct result.
