After the cleanup of page fault accounting, gup does not need to pass
task_struct around any more.  Remove that parameter in the whole gup
stack.

The path_noexec() check, like the regular file check, was happening too
late, letting LSMs see impossible execve()s.  Check it earlier as well in
may_open() and collect the redundant fs/exec.c path_noexec() test under
the same robustness comment as the S_ISREG() check.

My notes on the call path, and related arguments, checks, etc:

do_open_execat()
    struct open_flags open_exec_flags = {
        .open_flag = O_LARGEFILE | O_RDONLY | __FMODE_EXEC,
        .acc_mode = MAY_EXEC,
        ...
    do_filp_open(dfd, filename, open_flags)
        path_openat(nameidata, open_flags, flags)
            file = alloc_empty_file(open_flags, current_cred());
            do_open(nameidata, file, open_flags)
                may_open(path, acc_mode, open_flag)
                    /* new location of MAY_EXEC vs path_noexec() test */

<title>exec: move S_ISREG() check earlier</title>

<content type='text'>
The execve(2)/uselib(2) syscalls have always rejected non-regular files.
Recently, it was noticed that a deadlock was introduced when trying to
execute pipes, as the S_ISREG() test was happening too late.  This was
fixed in commit 73601ea5b7b1 ("fs/open.c: allow opening only regular files
during execve()"), but it was added after inode_permission() had already
run, which meant LSMs could see bogus attempts to execute non-regular
files.

Move the test into the other inode type checks (which already look for
other pathological conditions[1]).  Since there is no need to use
FMODE_EXEC while we still have access to "acc_mode", also switch the test
to MAY_EXEC.

Also include a comment with the redundant S_ISREG() checks at the end of
execve(2)/uselib(2) to note that they are present to avoid any mistakes.

My notes on the call path, and related arguments, checks, etc:

do_open_execat()
    struct open_flags open_exec_flags = {
        .open_flag = O_LARGEFILE | O_RDONLY | __FMODE_EXEC,

<title>exec: change uselib(2) IS_SREG() failure to EACCES</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch series "Relocate execve() sanity checks", v2.

While looking at the code paths for the proposed O_MAYEXEC flag, I saw
some things that looked like they should be fixed up.

  exec: Change uselib(2) IS_SREG() failure to EACCES
	This just regularizes the return code on uselib(2).

  exec: Move S_ISREG() check earlier
	This moves the S_ISREG() check even earlier than it was already.

  exec: Move path_noexec() check earlier
	This adds the path_noexec() check to the same place as the
	S_ISREG() check.

This patch (of 3):

Change uselib(2)' S_ISREG() error return to EACCES instead of EINVAL so
the behavior matches execve(2), and the seemingly documented value.  The
"not a regular file" failure mode of execve(2) is explicitly
documented[1], but it is not mentioned in uselib(2)[2] which does,
however, say that open(2) and mmap(2) errors may apply.  The documentation
for open(2) does not include a "not a regular file" error[3], but mmap(2)
does[4], and it is EACCES.

Both exec and exit want to ensure that the uaccess routines actually do
access user pointers.  Use the newly added force_uaccess_begin helper
instead of an open coded set_fs for that to prepare for kernel builds
where set_fs() does not exist.

<title>exec: Implement kernel_execve</title>

<id>be619f7f063a49c656f620a46af4f8ea3e759e91</id>
<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.

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.

In preparation for implementiong kernel_execve (which will take kernel
pointers not userspace pointers) factor out bprm_stack_limits out of
prepare_arg_pages.  This separates the counting which depends upon the
getting data from userspace from the calculations of the stack limits
which is usable in kernel_execve.

The remove prepare_args_pages and compute bprm-&gt;argc and bprm-&gt;envc
directly in do_execveat_common, before bprm_stack_limits is called.

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-&gt;in_execve, current-&gt;fs-&gt;in_exec,
bprm-&gt;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.

<title>exec: Move bprm_mm_init into alloc_bprm</title>

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 allocation and
initialization of bprm-&gt;mm into alloc_bprm so that the bprm-&gt;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-&gt;mm is moved into
free_bprm.  So that bprm-&gt;mm will be cleaned up whenever bprm-&gt;mm is
allocated and free_bprm are called.

Moving bprm_mm_init earlier is safe as it does not depend on any files,
current-&gt;in_execve, current-&gt;fs-&gt;in_exec, bprm-&gt;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-&gt;mm cleanup after current-&gt;fs-&gt;in_exec is set to 0.  This
is safe because current-&gt;fs-&gt;in_exec is only used to preventy taking an
additional reference on the fs_struct.

This moves bprm-&gt;mm cleanup after current-&gt;in_execve is set to 0.  This is
safe because current-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;mm to NULL.  As bprm-&gt;mm is NULL bprm cleanup I am
moving into free_bprm will do nothing.

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

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.
