Subject: linux-next: build failure in Linus' tree

Hi Linus,

While building Linus' tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

security/commoncap.c: In function 'cap_bprm_set_creds':
security/commoncap.c:510:22: error: 'PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID' undeclared (first use in this function)

Caused by commit d52fc5dde171 ("fcaps: clear the same personality flags as suid when fcaps are used").

I added this patch for today:

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@...b.auug.org.au>
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:38:26 +1000
Subject: [PATCH] security: commoncap.c needs to include personality.h

fixes this build error on PowerPC:

security/commoncap.c: In function 'cap_bprm_set_creds':
security/commoncap.c:510:22: error: 'PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID' undeclared (first use in this function)
