Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. Here is my modification.

+#define SET_PERSONALITY(ex)                                    \
+do {    if ((ex).e_ident[EI_CLASS] == ELFCLASS32)              \
+               set_thread_flag(TIF_32BIT);                     \
+       else                                                    \
+               clear_thread_flag(TIF_32BIT);                   \
+       if (personality(current->personality) != PER_LINUX32)   \
+               set_personality(PER_LINUX |                     \
+                       (current->personality & (~PER_MASK)));  \
