Hi Zach,
I like the idea behind these clean ups. Thanks for working on them!

I would echo all of Oleg's comments on the series so far. Additionally,
please use "scripts/checkpatch.pl" for checking your patches for common
errors (see item 4 in Documentation/SubmittingPatches). I see a number
of problems that are detected by the tool:
WARNING: line over 80 characters
#52: FILE: fs/exec.c:1403:
+ if (retval == -ELOOP && bprm->recursion_depth == 0) { /* cur,
previous */
...
ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line
#269: FILE: fs/binfmt_em86.c:70:
+ if (retval < 0) return retval;
...
ERROR: "(foo*)" should be "(foo *)"
#341: FILE: fs/binfmt_flat.c:791:
+ memset((void*)(datapos + data_len), 0, bss_len +
etc.
After that, be sure to use "scripts/get_maintainer.pl" for generating
your CC list (see item 5 in SubmittingPatches; I initially missed this
series -- adding more CCs for people that have touched the code can help
with your reviews).
Also, you only need to include a single Signed-off-by line for
yourself. :)

In the commit message, can you include some examples of how to generate
the loops you're encountering? This helps people understand why you're
doing what you're doing and provides a way for people to reproduce the
conditions themselves.
Thanks,
