of u_long
task_struct->pesonality is "unsigned int", but sys_personality() paths use
"unsigned long pesonality". This means that every assignment or
comparison is not right. In particular, if this argument does not fit
into "unsigned int" __set_personality() changes the caller's personality
and then sys_personality() returns -EINVAL.
Turn this argument into "unsigned int" and avoid overflows. Obviously,
this is the user-visible change, we just ignore the upper bits. But this
can't break the sane application.
There is another thing which can confuse the poorly written applications.
User-space thinks that this syscall returns int, not long. This means
that the returned value can be negative and look like the error code. But
note that libc won't be confused and thus errno won't be set, and with
this patch the user-space can never get -1 unless sys_personality() really
fails. And, most importantly, the negative RET != -1 is only possible if
that app previously called personality(RET).

Don't pull it in sched.h; very few files actually need it and those
can include directly. sched.h itself only needs forward declaration
of struct fs_struct;

That's a rudiment of altroot support. I.e. it should've been buried
a long time ago.

If the change of personality does not lead to change of exec domain,
__set_personality() returned without releasing the module reference
acquired by lookup_exec_domain().

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
