commit 95c5436a4883841588dae86fb0b9325f47ba5ad3 upstream.

Move the call of dump_vma_snapshot and kvfree(vma_meta) out of the
individual coredump routines into do_coredump itself.  This makes
the code less error prone and easier to maintain.

Make the vma snapshot available to the coredump routines
in struct coredump_params.  This makes it easier to
change and update what is captures in the vma snapshot
and will be needed for fixing fill_file_notes.

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).

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.

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>exec: Move initialization of bprm-&gt;filename into alloc_bprm</title>

<id>urn:sha1:60d9ad1d1d7f15964d23f6e71a7adcf1bde0e18e</id>
<content type='text'>
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-&gt;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-&gt;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.

The general convention in the linux kernel is to define a pointer
member as "type *name".  The declaration of struct linux_binprm has
several pointer defined as "type * name".  Update them to the
form of "type *name" for consistency.

<content type='text'>
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.

<id>urn:sha1:56305aa9b6fab91a5555a45796b79c1b0a6353d1</id>
<content type='text'>
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-&gt;cred directly, and that
there are no helpers that look at bprm-&gt;cred indirectly.  Which means
that it is not a problem to compute the bprm-&gt;cred later in the
execution flow as it is not used until it becomes current-&gt;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-&gt;executable or most likely bprm-&gt;file that the bprm-&gt;creds
will be computed from.

The funciton bprm_fill_uid is updated to receive the file instead of
accessing bprm-&gt;file.  The now unnecessary work needed to reset the
bprm-&gt;cred-&gt;euid, and bprm-&gt;cred-&gt;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.
