Subject: [PATCH RESEND] x86: Reject x32 executables if x32 ABI not supported
Date: Sun, 07 Sep 2014 21:05:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1410120305.6822.9.camel@decadent.org.uk> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1253 bytes --]

It is currently possible to execve() an x32 executable on an x86_64
kernel that has only ia32 compat enabled.  However all its syscalls
will fail, even _exit().  This usually causes it to segfault.

Change the ELF compat architecture check so that x32 executables are
rejected if we don't support the x32 ABI.
