The kernel/libc part is correct, but since user-space declares "int personality(unsigned long persona)" the current behaviour can confuse the (poor written) applications even on 64-bit machines.

[PATCH 2/2] blackfin: use ->mmap_sem to protect mm_context_t->sram_list
Any usage of mm->context.sram_list is not safe, is_user_addr_valid() and sram_free_with_lsl/sram_free_with_lsl can race with each other. Change sram_free_with_lsl/sram_free_with_lsl to take mm->mmap_sem for writing, is_user_addr_valid() was already modified to take it for reading and it doesn't modify this list. ... 27 May 2010 17:03

[PATCH 1/2] blackfin: ptrace: fix the unsafe usage of mm/find_vma in is_user_addr_valid()
1. is_user_addr_valid() must not assume child->mm != NULL, we can race with SIGKILL. Use get_task_mm(). 2. find_vma() needs mm->mmap_sem, we can race with another thread which shares ->mm with the tracee. 3. Move the simple FIXED_CODE_ checks up, before other potentially costly checks, and thus outsid... 27 May 2010 17:03
