Florent Revest b3759b8705 mm: make PR_MDWE_REFUSE_EXEC_GAIN an unsigned long ... commit 0da668333f upstream. Defining a prctl flag as an int is a footgun because on a 64 bit machine and with a variadic implementation of prctl (like in musl and glibc), when used directly as a prctl argument, it can get casted to long with garbage upper bits which would result in unexpected behaviors. This patch changes the constant to an unsigned long to eliminate that possibilities. This does not break UAPI. I think that a stable backport would be "nice to have": to reduce the chances that users build binaries that could end up with garbage bits in their MDWE prctl arguments. We are not aware of anyone having yet encountered this corner case with MDWE prctls but a backport would reduce the likelihood it happens, since this sort of issues has happened with other prctls. But If this is perceived as a backporting burden, I suppose we could also live without a stable backport.
