Subject[PATCH v2 3/5] mm: Make PR_MDWE_REFUSE_EXEC_GAIN an unsigned long
Date
Alexey pointed out that defining a prctl flag as an int is a footgun
because, under some circumstances, when used as a flag to prctl, it can
be casted to long with garbage upper bits which would result in
unexpected behaviors.

This patch changes the constant to a UL to eliminate these
possibilities.
