| |
Hi all,
On mips(el), when doing multiple call to the syscall SYS_personality in order to get the current personality (using 0xffffffff for the first argument), on a 64-bit kernel, the second and subsequent syscalls are failing. That works correctly with a 32-bit kernels and on other architectures.
Here is a small test below:
#include <sys/personality.h> #include <stdio.h>
void main() { printf("%i\n", personality(0xFFFFFFFF)); printf("%i\n", personality(0xFFFFFFFF)); }
