3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 0e6d3112a4e95d55cf6dca88f298d5f4b8f29bd1 upstream. It is currently possible to execve() an x32 executable on an x86_64 kernel that has only ia32 compat enabled. However all its syscalls will fail, even _exit(). This usually causes it to segfault. Change the ELF compat architecture check so that x32 executables are rejected if we don't support the x32 ABI.
