This looks mostly correct,

This means the personality after exec is always set to PER_LINUX, not
PER_LINUX32, which I think is wrong: you want the PER_LINUX32
setting to stick, just like the upper bits do in the default implementation.

What the other ones do is:

| arch/parisc/include/asm/elf.h-
set_personality((current->personality & ~PER_MASK) | PER_LINUX); \

This looks like the same problem you introduce here: always forcing PER_LINUX
instead of PER_LINUX32 makes it impossible to use PER_LINUX32.

| arch/alpha/include/asm/elf.h:#define SET_PERSONALITY(EX)
                           \
| arch/alpha/include/asm/elf.h-   set_personality(((EX).e_flags &
EF_ALPHA_32BIT)         \
| arch/alpha/include/asm/elf.h-      ? PER_LINUX_32BIT : PER_LINUX)
| arch/csky/include/asm/elf.h:#define SET_PERSONALITY(ex)
set_personality(PER_LINUX)
| arch/nds32/include/asm/elf.h:#define SET_PERSONALITY(ex)
set_personality(PER_LINUX)

These look even worse: instead of forcing the lower bits to
PER_LINUX/PER_LINUX32 and
leaving the upper bits untouched, these also clear the upper bits
unconditionally.

| arch/arm64/include/asm/elf.h:#define SET_PERSONALITY(ex)
                                   \
| arch/arm64/include/asm/elf.h-   current->personality &=
~READ_IMPLIES_EXEC;                     \
| arch/x86/um/asm/elf.h:#define SET_PERSONALITY(ex) do {} while(0)
| arch/x86/include/asm/elf.h:#define set_personality_64bit()      do {
} while (0)
| arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c:static void __set_personality_ia32(void)
|         current->personality |= force_personality32;

Inconsistent: does not enforce PER_LINUX/PER_LINUX32 as the default
implementation
does, but just leaves the value untouched (other than (re)setting
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC).
I think this is harmless otherwise, as we generally ignore the lower
bits, except for the
bit of code that checks for PER_LINUX32 in override_architecture() to mangle the
output of sys_newuname() or in /proc/cpuinfo.

| arch/s390/include/asm/elf.h-    if
(personality(current->personality) != PER_LINUX32)   \
| arch/s390/include/asm/elf.h-            set_personality(PER_LINUX |
                   \
| arch/s390/include/asm/elf.h-
(current->personality & ~PER_MASK));    \
| arch/powerpc/include/asm/elf.h- if
(personality(current->personality) != PER_LINUX32)   \
| arch/powerpc/include/asm/elf.h-         set_personality(PER_LINUX |
                   \
| arch/powerpc/include/asm/elf.h-
(current->personality & (~PER_MASK)));  \
| arch/sparc/include/asm/elf_64.h-        if
(personality(current->personality) != PER_LINUX32)   \
| arch/sparc/include/asm/elf_64.h-
set_personality(PER_LINUX |             \
| arch/sparc/include/asm/elf_64.h-
(current->personality & (~PER_MASK)));  \

This is probably the behavior you want to copy.
