Merge branch 'exec-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull execve updates from Eric Biederman: "Last cycle for the Nth time I ran into bugs and quality of implementation issues related to exec that could not be easily be fixed because of the way exec is implemented. So I have been digging into exec and cleanup up what I can. I don't think I have exec sorted out enough to fix the issues I started with but I have made some headway this cycle with 4 sets of changes. - promised cleanups after introducing exec_update_mutex - trivial cleanups for exec - control flow simplifications - remove the recomputation of bprm->cred The net result is code that is a bit easier to understand and work with and a decrease in the number of lines of code (if you don't count the added tests)" * 'exec-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (24 commits) exec: Compute file based creds only once exec: Add a per bprm->file version of per_clear binfmt_elf_fdpic: fix execfd build regression selftests/exec: Add binfmt_script regression test exec: Remove recursion from search_binary_handler exec: Generic execfd support exec/binfmt_script: Don't modify bprm->buf and then return -ENOEXEC exec: Move the call of prepare_binprm into search_binary_handler exec: Allow load_misc_binary to call prepare_binprm unconditionally exec: Convert security_bprm_set_creds into security_bprm_repopulate_creds exec: Factor security_bprm_creds_for_exec out of security_bprm_set_creds exec: Teach prepare_exec_creds how exec treats uids & gids exec: Set the point of no return sooner exec: Move handling of the point of no return to the top level exec: Run sync_mm_rss before taking exec_update_mutex exec: Fix spelling of search_binary_handler in a comment exec: Move the comment from above de_thread to above unshare_sighand exec: Rename flush_old_exec begin_new_exec exec: Move most of setup_new_exec into flush_old_exec exec: In setup_new_exec cache current in the local variable me ...

* Security hooks for program execution operations.
*
- * @bprm_set_creds:
- * Save security information in the bprm->security field, typically based
- * on information about the bprm->file, for later use by the apply_creds
- * hook. This hook may also optionally check permissions (e.g. for
- * transitions between security domains).
- * This hook may be called multiple times during a single execve, e.g. for
- * interpreters. The hook can tell whether it has already been called by
- * checking to see if @bprm->security is non-NULL. If so, then the hook
- * may decide either to retain the security information saved earlier or
- * to replace it. The hook must set @bprm->secureexec to 1 if a "secure
- * exec" has happened as a result of this hook call. The flag is used to
- * indicate the need for a sanitized execution environment, and is also
- * passed in the ELF auxiliary table on the initial stack to indicate
- * whether libc should enable secure mode.
+ * @bprm_creds_for_exec:
+ * If the setup in prepare_exec_creds did not setup @bprm->cred->security
+ * properly for executing @bprm->file, update the LSM's portion of
+ * @bprm->cred->security to be what commit_creds needs to install for the
+ * new program. This hook may also optionally check permissions
+ * (e.g. for transitions between security domains).
+ * The hook must set @bprm->secureexec to 1 if AT_SECURE should be set to
+ * request libc enable secure mode.
+ * @bprm contains the linux_binprm structure.
+ * Return 0 if the hook is successful and permission is granted.
+ * @bprm_creds_from_file:
+ * If @file is setpcap, suid, sgid or otherwise marked to change
+ * privilege upon exec, update @bprm->cred to reflect that change.
+ * This is called after finding the binary that will be executed.
+ * without an interpreter. This ensures that the credentials will not
+ * be derived from a script that the binary will need to reopen, which
+ * when reopend may end up being a completely different file. This
+ * hook may also optionally check permissions (e.g. for transitions
+ * between security domains).
+ * The hook must set @bprm->secureexec to 1 if AT_SECURE should be set to
+ * request libc enable secure mode.
+ * The hook must add to @bprm->per_clear any personality flags that
+ * should be cleared from current->personality.
* @bprm contains the linux_binprm structure.
* Return 0 if the hook is successful and permission is granted.
* @bprm_check_security:
* This hook mediates the point when a search for a binary handler will
- * begin. It allows a check the @bprm->security value which is set in the
- * preceding set_creds call. The primary difference from set_creds is
- * that the argv list and envp list are reliably available in @bprm. This
- * hook may be called multiple times during a single execve; and in each
- * pass set_creds is called first.
+ * begin. It allows a check against the @bprm->cred->security value
+ * which was set in the preceding creds_for_exec call. The argv list and
+ * envp list are reliably available in @bprm. This hook may be called
+ * multiple times during a single execve.
* @bprm contains the linux_binprm structure.
* Return 0 if the hook is successful and permission is granted.
* @bprm_committing_creds:
* Prepare to install the new security attributes of a process being
* transformed by an execve operation, based on the old credentials
* pointed to by @current->cred and the information set in @bprm->cred by
- * the bprm_set_creds hook. @bprm points to the linux_binprm structure.
- * This hook is a good place to perform state changes on the process such
- * as closing open file descriptors to which access will no longer be
- * granted when the attributes are changed. This is called immediately
- * before commit_creds().
