From bb2127240c5595ae4ef7115494f51e973692f64e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:56:49 -0800 Subject: x32: Add a thread flag for x32 processes An x32 process is *almost* the same thing as a 64-bit process with a 32-bit address limit, but there are a few minor differences -- in particular core dumps are 32 bits and signal handling is different.
