exec: Move most of setup_new_exec into flush_old_exec
The current idiom for the callers is: flush_old_exec(bprm); set_personality(...); setup_new_exec(bprm); In 2010 Linus split flush_old_exec into flush_old_exec and setup_new_exec. With the intention that setup_new_exec be what is called after the processes new personality is set. Move the code that doesn't depend upon the personality from setup_new_exec into flush_old_exec. This is to facilitate future changes by having as much code together in one function as possible. To see why it is safe to move this code please note that effectively this change moves the personality setting in the binfmt and the following three lines of code after everything except unlocking the mutexes: arch_pick_mmap_layout arch_setup_new_exec mm->task_size = TASK_SIZE The function arch_pick_mmap_layout at most sets: mm->get_unmapped_area mm->mmap_base mm->mmap_legacy_base mm->mmap_compat_base mm->mmap_compat_legacy_base which nothing in flush_old_exec or setup_new_exec depends on. The function arch_setup_new_exec only sets architecture specific state and the rest of the functions only deal in state that applies to all architectures. The last line just sets mm->task_size and again nothing in flush_old_exec or setup_new_exec depend on task_size.
