get_vfs_caps_from_disk does:
cpu_caps->magic_etc = magic_etc = le32_to_cpu(caps.magic_etc);
then bprm_caps_from_vfs_caps does:
if (caps->magic_etc & VFS_CAP_FLAGS_EFFECTIVE)
*effective = true;
and finally cap_bprm_set_creds does:
if (effective)
new->cap_effective = new->cap_permitted;
else
cap_clear(new->cap_effective);
