[IA64] Change SET_PERSONALITY to comply with comment in binfmt_elf.c.
We have a customer application which trips a bug. The problem arises
when a driver attempts to call do_munmap on an area which is mapped, but
because current->thread.task_size has been set to 0xC0000000, the call
to do_munmap fails thinking it is an unmap beyond the user's address
space.
The comment in fs/binfmt_elf.c in load_elf_library() before the call
to SET_PERSONALITY() indicates that task_size must not be changed for
the running application until flush_thread, but is for ia64 executing
ia32 binaries.
This patch moves the setting of task_size from SET_PERSONALITY() to
flush_thread() as indicated. The customer application no longer is able
to trip the bug.
