That could just be a pun. Maybe Al knows...

Another comment in line 615 has the same sentence with 'backwards'.
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/fs/exec.c#L615).

So, one of them should be corrected.

OK.

I think this one should be:
      * Copy an argument/environment string from the kernel to the process's stack.

Either process's stack or process' stack. Not what is typed there.
I prefer process's, just as this reference does:
    https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/process-or-processs.1704502/

Oh, my bad. I should have deleted the letter 'e'. Thanks for this.

After Al confirms 'backwords', I'll also change "processes's" to
"process's" in v2.
