9f4beead61 binfmt: remove taso from linux_binprm struct
With commit 987f20a9dc ("a.out: Remove the a.out implementation"), the
use of the special taso flag for alpha architectures in the linux_binprm
struct is gone.

Remove the definition of taso in the linux_binprm struct.

No functional change.

d0f1088b31 coredump: don't bother with do_truncate()
have dump_skip() just remember how much needs to be skipped,
leave actual seeks/writing zeroes to the next dump_emit()
or the end of coredump output, whichever comes first.
And instead of playing with do_truncate() in the end, just
write one NUL at the end of the last gap (if any).

2347961b11 binfmt_misc: pass binfmt_misc flags to the interpreter
It can be useful to the interpreter to know which flags are in use.

For instance, knowing if the preserve-argv[0] is in use would
allow to skip the pathname argument.

This patch uses an unused auxiliary vector, AT_FLAGS, to add a
flag to inform interpreter if the preserve-argv[0] is enabled.

Note by Helge Deller:
The real-world user of this patch is qemu-user, which needs to know
if it has to preserve the argv[0]. See Debian bug #970460.

be619f7f06 exec: Implement kernel_execve
To allow the kernel not to play games with set_fs to call exec
implement kernel_execve.  The function kernel_execve takes pointers
into kernel memory and copies the values pointed to onto the new
userspace stack.

The calls with arguments from kernel space of do_execve are replaced
with calls to kernel_execve.

The calls do_execve and do_execveat are made static as there are now
no callers outside of exec.

The comments that mention do_execve are updated to refer to
kernel_execve or execve depending on the circumstances.  In addition
to correcting the comments, this makes it easy to grep for do_execve
and verify it is not used.

60d9ad1d1d exec: Move initialization of bprm->filename into alloc_bprm
Currently it is necessary for the usermode helper code and the code
that launches init to use set_fs so that pages coming from the kernel
look like they are coming from userspace.

To allow that usage of set_fs to be removed cleanly the argument
copying from userspace needs to happen earlier.  Move the computation
of bprm->filename and possible allocation of a name in the case
of execveat into alloc_bprm to make that possible.

The exectuable name, the arguments, and the environment are
copied into the new usermode stack which is stored in bprm
until exec passes the point of no return.

As the executable name is copied first onto the usermode stack
it needs to be known.  As there are no dependencies to computing
the executable name, compute it early in alloc_bprm.

As an implementation detail if the filename needs to be generated
because it embeds a file descriptor store that filename in a new field
bprm->fdpath, and free it in free_bprm.  Previously this was done in
an independent variable pathbuf.  I have renamed pathbuf fdpath
because fdpath is more suggestive of what kind of path is in the
variable.  I moved fdpath into struct linux_binprm because it is
tightly tied to the other variables in struct linux_binprm, and as
such is needed to allow the call alloc_binprm to move.

25cf336de5 exec: Remove do_execve_file
Now that the last callser has been removed remove this code from exec.

For anyone thinking of resurrecing do_execve_file please note that
the code was buggy in several fundamental ways.

- It did not ensure the file it was passed was read-only and that
  deny_write_access had been called on it.  Which subtlely breaks
  invaniants in exec.

- The caller of do_execve_file was expected to hold and put a
  reference to the file, but an extra reference for use by exec was
  not taken so that when exec put it's reference to the file an
  underflow occured on the file reference count.

- The point of the interface was so that a pathname did not need to
  exist.  Which breaks pathname based LSMs.

Tetsuo Handa originally reported these issues[1].  While it was clear
that deny_write_access was missing the fundamental incompatibility
with the passed in O_RDWR filehandle was not immediately recognized.

All of these issues were fixed by modifying the usermode driver code
to have a path, so it did not need this hack.

56305aa9b6 exec: Compute file based creds only once
Move the computation of creds from prepare_binfmt into begin_new_exec
so that the creds need only be computed once.  This is just code
reorganization no semantic changes of any kind are made.

Moving the computation is safe.  I have looked through the kernel and
verified none of the binfmts look at bprm->cred directly, and that
there are no helpers that look at bprm->cred indirectly.  Which means
that it is not a problem to compute the bprm->cred later in the
execution flow as it is not used until it becomes current->cred.

A new function bprm_creds_from_file is added to contain the work that
needs to be done.  bprm_creds_from_file first computes which file
bprm->executable or most likely bprm->file that the bprm->creds
will be computed from.

The funciton bprm_fill_uid is updated to receive the file instead of
accessing bprm->file.  The now unnecessary work needed to reset the
bprm->cred->euid, and bprm->cred->egid is removed from brpm_fill_uid.
A small comment to document that bprm_fill_uid now only deals with the
work to handle suid and sgid files.  The default case is already
heandled by prepare_exec_creds.

The function security_bprm_repopulate_creds is renamed
security_bprm_creds_from_file and now is explicitly passed the file
from which to compute the creds.  The documentation of the
bprm_creds_from_file security hook is updated to explain when the hook
is called and what it needs to do.  The file is passed from
cap_bprm_creds_from_file into get_file_caps so that the caps are
computed for the appropriate file.  The now unnecessary work in
cap_bprm_creds_from_file to reset the ambient capabilites has been
removed.  A small comment to document that the work of
cap_bprm_creds_from_file is to read capabilities from the files
secureity attribute and derive capabilities from the fact the
user had uid 0 has been added.

a7868323c2 exec: Add a per bprm->file version of per_clear
There is a small bug in the code that recomputes parts of bprm->cred
for every bprm->file.  The code never recomputes the part of
clear_dangerous_personality_flags it is responsible for.

Which means that in practice if someone creates a sgid script
the interpreter will not be able to use any of:
	READ_IMPLIES_EXEC
	ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE
	ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT
	MMAP_PAGE_ZERO.

This accentially clearing of personality flags probably does
not matter in practice because no one has complained
but it does make the code more difficult to understand.

Further remaining bug compatible prevents the recomputation from being
removed and replaced by simply computing bprm->cred once from the
final bprm->file.

Making this change removes the last behavior difference between
computing bprm->creds from the final file and recomputing
bprm->cred several times.  Which allows this behavior change
to be justified for it's own reasons, and for any but hunts
looking into why the behavior changed to wind up here instead
of in the code that will follow that computes bprm->cred
from the final bprm->file.

This small logic bug appears to have existed since the code
started clearing dangerous personality bits.

bc2bf338d5 exec: Remove recursion from search_binary_handler
Recursion in kernel code is generally a bad idea as it can overflow
the kernel stack.  Recursion in exec also hides that the code is
looping and that the loop changes bprm->file.

Instead of recursing in search_binary_handler have the methods that
would recurse set bprm->interpreter and return 0.  Modify exec_binprm
to loop when bprm->interpreter is set.  Consolidate all of the
reassignments of bprm->file in that loop to make it clear what is
going on.

The structure of the new loop in exec_binprm is that all errors return
immediately, while successful completion (ret == 0 &&
!bprm->interpreter) just breaks out of the loop and runs what
exec_bprm has always run upon successful completion.

Fail if the an interpreter is being call after execfd has been set.
The code has never properly handled an interpreter being called with
execfd being set and with reassignments of bprm->file and the
assignment of bprm->executable in generic code it has finally become
possible to test and fail when if this problematic condition happens.

With the reassignments of bprm->file and the assignment of
bprm->executable moved into the generic code add a test to see if
bprm->executable is being reassigned.

In search_binary_handler remove the test for !bprm->file.  With all
reassignments of bprm->file moved to exec_binprm bprm->file can never
be NULL in search_binary_handler.

b8a61c9e7b exec: Generic execfd support
Most of the support for passing the file descriptor of an executable
to an interpreter already lives in the generic code and in binfmt_elf.
Rework the fields in binfmt_elf that deal with executable file
descriptor passing to make executable file descriptor passing a first
class concept.

Move the fd_install from binfmt_misc into begin_new_exec after the new
creds have been installed.  This means that accessing the file through
/proc/<pid>/fd/N is able to see the creds for the new executable
before allowing access to the new executables files.

Performing the install of the executables file descriptor after
the point of no return also means that nothing special needs to
be done on error.  The exiting of the process will close all
of it's open files.

Move the would_dump from binfmt_misc into begin_new_exec right
after would_dump is called on the bprm->file.  This makes it
obvious this case exists and that no nesting of bprm->file is
currently supported.

In binfmt_misc the movement of fd_install into generic code means
that it's special error exit path is no longer needed.

eea9673250 exec: Add exec_update_mutex to replace cred_guard_mutex
The cred_guard_mutex is problematic as it is held over possibly
indefinite waits for userspace.  The possible indefinite waits for
userspace that I have identified are: The cred_guard_mutex is held in
PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT waiting for the tracer.  The cred_guard_mutex is
held over "put_user(0, tsk->clear_child_tid)" in exit_mm().  The
cred_guard_mutex is held over "get_user(futex_offset, ...")  in
exit_robust_list.  The cred_guard_mutex held over copy_strings.

The functions get_user and put_user can trigger a page fault which can
potentially wait indefinitely in the case of userfaultfd or if
userspace implements part of the page fault path.

In any of those cases the userspace process that the kernel is waiting
for might make a different system call that winds up taking the
cred_guard_mutex and result in deadlock.

Holding a mutex over any of those possibly indefinite waits for
userspace does not appear necessary.  Add exec_update_mutex that will
just cover updating the process during exec where the permissions and
the objects pointed to by the task struct may be out of sync.

The plan is to switch the users of cred_guard_mutex to
exec_update_mutex one by one.  This lets us move forward while still
being careful and not introducing any regressions.

a6231d1993 exec: move struct linux_binprm::buf
struct linux_binprm::buf is the first field and it is exactly 128 bytes
in size.  It means that on x86_64 all accesses to other fields will go
though [r64 + disp32] addressing mode which is 3 bytes bloatier than
[r64 + disp8] addressing mode.  Given that accesses to other fields
outnumber accesses to ->buf, move it down.

Space savings (x86_64 defconfig):
more on distro configs because LSMs actively dereference "bprm"
but do not care about first 128 bytes of the executable itself.
