binfmt: remove in-tree usage of MAP_EXECUTABLE

2021-06-29T17:53:50+00:00

Ever since commit e9714acf8c43 ("mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and
mm->num_exe_file_vmas"), VM_EXECUTABLE is gone and MAP_EXECUTABLE is
essentially completely ignored.  Let's remove all usage of MAP_EXECUTABLE.

binfmt_flat: allow not offsetting data start

2021-04-18T23:56:37+00:00

Commit 2217b9826246 ("binfmt_flat: revert "binfmt_flat: don't offset
the data start"") restored offsetting the start of the data section by
a number of words defined by MAX_SHARED_LIBS. As a result, since
MAX_SHARED_LIBS is never 0, a gap between the text and data sections
always exists. For architectures which cannot support a such gap
between the text and data sections (e.g. riscv nommu), flat binary
programs cannot be executed.

To allow an architecture to request no data start offset to allow for
contiguous text and data sections for binaries flagged with
FLAT_FLAG_RAM, introduce the new config option
CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET. Using this new option, the
macro DATA_START_OFFSET_WORDS is conditionally defined in binfmt_flat.c
to MAX_SHARED_LIBS for architectures tolerating or needing the data
start offset (CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET disabled case)
and to 0 when CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET is enabled.
DATA_START_OFFSET_WORDS is used in load_flat_file() to calculate the
data section length and start position.

binfmt_flat: revert "binfmt_flat: don't offset the data start"

2020-08-23T22:49:13+00:00

binfmt_flat loader uses the gap between text and data to store data
segment pointers for the libraries. Even in the absence of shared
libraries it stores at least one pointer to the executable's own data
segment. Text and data can go back to back in the flat binary image and
without offsetting data segment last few instructions in the text
segment may get corrupted by the data segment pointer.

Fix it by reverting commit a2357223c50a ("binfmt_flat: don't offset the
data start").

exec: Rename flush_old_exec begin_new_exec

2020-05-07T21:55:47+00:00

There is and has been for a very long time been a lot more going on in
flush_old_exec than just flushing the old state.  After the movement
of code from setup_new_exec there is a whole lot more going on than
just flushing the old executables state.

Rename flush_old_exec to begin_new_exec to more accurately reflect
what this function does.

exec: Merge install_exec_creds into setup_new_exec

2020-05-07T21:55:47+00:00

The two functions are now always called one right after the
other so merge them together to make future maintenance easier.

binfmt: Move install_exec_creds after setup_new_exec to match binfmt_elf

2020-05-07T21:54:27+00:00

In 2016 Linus moved install_exec_creds immediately after
setup_new_exec, in binfmt_elf as a cleanup and as part of closing a
potential information leak.

Perform the same cleanup for the other binary formats.

Different binary formats doing the same things the same way makes exec
easier to reason about and easier to maintain.
