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.

In preparation for implementiong kernel_execve (which will take kernel
pointers not userspace pointers) factor out bprm_stack_limits out of

getting data from userspace from the calculations of the stack limits
which is usable in kernel_execve.

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. Factor bprm_execve
out of do_execve_common to separate out the copying of arguments
to the newe stack, and the rest of exec.
In separating bprm_execve from do_execve_common the copying
of the arguments onto the new stack happens earlier.
As the copying of the arguments does not depend any security hooks,
files, the file table, current->in_execve, current->fs->in_exec,
bprm->unsafe, or creds this is safe.
Likewise the security hook security_creds_for_exec does not depend upon
preventing the argument copying from happening.
In addition to making it possible to implement kernel_execve that
performs the copying differently, this separation of bprm_execve from
do_execve_common makes for a nice separation of responsibilities making
the exec code easier to navigate.

To allow that usage of set_fs to be removed cleanly the argument copying

initialization of bprm->mm into alloc_bprm so that the bprm->mm is
available early to store the new user stack into. This is a prerequisite
for copying argv and envp into the new user stack early before ther rest of
exec.
To keep the things consistent the cleanup of bprm->mm is moved into
free_bprm. So that bprm->mm will be cleaned up whenever bprm->mm is
allocated and free_bprm are called.
Moving bprm_mm_init earlier is safe as it does not depend on any files,
current->in_execve, current->fs->in_exec, bprm->unsafe, or the if the file
table is shared. (AKA bprm_mm_init does not depend on any of the code that
happens between alloc_bprm and where it was previously called.)
This moves bprm->mm cleanup after current->fs->in_exec is set to 0. This
is safe because current->fs->in_exec is only used to preventy taking an
additional reference on the fs_struct.
This moves bprm->mm cleanup after current->in_execve is set to 0. This is
safe because current->in_execve is only used by the lsms (apparmor and
tomoyou) and always for LSM specific functions, never for anything to do
with the mm.
This adds bprm->mm cleanup into the successful return path. This is safe
because being on the successful return path implies that begin_new_exec
succeeded and set brpm->mm to NULL. As bprm->mm is NULL bprm cleanup I am
moving into free_bprm will do nothing.

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.

Currently copy_string_kernel is just a wrapper around copy_strings that
simplifies the calling conventions and uses set_fs to allow passing a
kernel pointer. But due to the fact the we only need to handle a single
kernel argument pointer, the logic can be sigificantly simplified while
getting rid of the set_fs.

- remove has_group_leader_pid

messing up another mount of proc. Given the kernel's internal mounts
of proc for things like uml this was a real problem, and resulted in
Android's hidepid mount options being ignored and introducing security
issues.
The rest of the changes are small cleanups and fixes that came out of
my work to allow this change to proc. In essence it is swapping the
pids in de_thread during exec which removes a special case the code
had to handle. Then updating the code to stop handling that special

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.

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.

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.

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.

call prepare_binprm. Allowing the credential computation logic to be

Not replacing the credentials with the interpreters credentials is
safe because because an open file descriptor to the executable is
passed to the interpreter. As the interpreter does not need to
reopen the executable it is guaranteed to see the same file that
exec sees.
