Subject: binfmt_misc broken



According to Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt, the 'magic' and 'mask' can be 
set by echoing it to /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register.

Here's the problem I can across while working on ARM.

# echo 
':arm:M::\x7fELF\x01\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x28\x00:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff\xff:/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static:' 
>/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

# cat /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/arm
wrong ...
magic 7f454c46010101
mask ffffffffffffff

right ...
magic 7f454c4601010100000000000000000002002800
mask ffffffffffffff00fffffffffffffffffeffffff


binfmt_misc is truncating e->size, so once ARM's magic is loaded, 32-bit 
x86 can no longer run.

Here's a patch for it. It's looking for the delimiter ":" instead of \0. 
Now 32-bit x86 can run concurrent while qemu-arm is handling ARM's magic.

Thanks,
Jeff
