I don't mind documenting the p->personality flag, but in practice it's not used
for emulation of other OSs really, but for emulating ABI behavior with previous
_Linux_ versions, see include/uapi/linux/personality.h:
* Flags for bug emulation.
*
* These occupy the top three bytes.
*/
enum {
UNAME26 = 0x0020000,
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE = 0x0040000, /* disable randomization of VA space */
FDPIC_FUNCPTRS = 0x0080000, /* userspace function ptrs point to descriptors
* (signal handling)
*/
MMAP_PAGE_ZERO = 0x0100000,
ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT = 0x0200000,
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC = 0x0400000,
ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT = 0x0800000,
SHORT_INODE = 0x1000000,
WHOLE_SECONDS = 0x2000000,
STICKY_TIMEOUTS = 0x4000000,
ADDR_LIMIT_3GB = 0x8000000,
So the updated comment should say that.
Thanks,
Ingo

Ok, thanks, I will send a v2.
