commit 6dd0d2d22a upstream.
For some reason, the implementation of some 16-bit ID system calls
(namely, setuid16/setgid16 and setfsuid16/setfsgid16) used type cast
instead of low2highgid/low2highuid macros for converting [GU]IDs, which
led to incorrect handling of value of -1 (which ought to be considered
invalid).
Discovered by strace test suite.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
