Actually, I agree, but the only way out that I see is to
add yet another macro, which replaces the second SET_PERSONALITY
on 2.5 and adds a hook for 2.4 in that place.
Current 2.5 code looks bizzare:
for (headers) {
if (is header) {
interpreter = x;
SET_PERSONALITY(elf_ex, ibcs2_interpreter);
break;
}
}
if (interpreter) {
} else {
SET_PERSONALITY(elf_ex, ibcs2_interpreter);
}
flush_old_exec();
some_more_core
SET_PERSONALITY(elf_ex, ibcs2_interpreter); // Cries for extermination!
current->mm->free_area_cache = TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE;
Spaghetti wihout goto's!! There's no way to get to the third
SET_PERSONALITY without being there once, so what does that mean?
