The ia32_compat attribute is a weird thing. It mirrors TIF_IA32 and TIF_X32 and is used only in two very unrelated places: (1) to decide if the vsyscall page is accessible (2) for uprobes to find whether the patched instruction is 32 or 64 bit. In preparation to remove the TIF flags, a new mechanism is required for ia32_compat, but given its odd semantics, adding a real flags field which configures these specific behaviours is the best option. So, set_personality_x64() can ask for the vsyscall page, which is not available in x32/ia32 and set_personality_ia32() can configure the uprobe code as needed. uprobe cannot rely on other methods like user_64bit_mode() to decide how to patch, so it needs some specific flag like this.
