[PATCH 3.10 017/123] x86: Reject x32 executables if x32 ABI not supported

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Nov 11 2014 - 20:52:10 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0e6d3112a4e95d55cf6dca88f298d5f4b8f29bd1 upstream.

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.
