Subject: bug(?): SET_PERSONALITY 2.4.18-rc3
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2002 20:50:08 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C75B1E0.ADC9B488@vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Greetings,
While getting 2.4.18-rc[1|2] up and running on ppc64 the following bug
surfaced. Least I think it's a bug. You be the judge. If it's not, we'd
kinda like to know why not.
in fs/binfmt_elf.c I believe the following patch appears to be needed
------8<----------8<--------------------
diff -urN linuxppc64_2_4.bld-rc.borked/fs/binfmt_elf.c
linuxppc64_2_4.bld-rc/fs/binfmt_elf.c

interpreter_type = INTERPRETER_ELF;
}
+ } else {
+ /* Executables without an interpreter also need a personality */
+ SET_PERSONALITY(elf_ex, ibcs2_interpreter);
}
/* OK, we are done with that, now set up the arg stuff,
----8<-------------8<------------------
otherwise a static application would be run without SET_PERSONALITY
being called, which On ppc64, very quickly leads to a bad day.
Regards,
Tom
