So you mean the 64-bit grep should see the same cpuinfo as its father process
which is 32-bit?

For 32-bit process running on 64-bit kernel, we have to explicitly call the personality
syscall to get the right cpuinfo, but how to deal with the old 32-bit binaries?

Yes, you could use the syscall to switch the personality. Alternately, you could run
"linux32" command to switch the personality to PER_LINUX32 and then execute
64/32 bit applications.
