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.

That's caused by mis-handling broken sign extensions, see also
http://bugs.debian.org/380531.


Nice to see there is already a patch! Thanks for your work. Do you know when the patch will be merged upstream or in Debian? I really want to see this bug fixed, as it breaks dchroot.
