exec: Promised cleanups after introducing exec_update_mutex
In the patchset that introduced exec_update_mutex there were a few last minute discoveries and fixes that left the code in a state that can be very easily be improved. During the merge window we discussed the first three of these patches and I promised I would resend them. What the first patch does is it makes the the calls in the binfmts: flush_old_exec(); /* set the personality */ setup_new_exec(); install_exec_creds(); With no sleeps or anything in between. At the conclusion of this set of changes the the calls in the binfmts are: begin_new_exec(); /* set the personality */ setup_new_exec(); The intent is to make the code easier to follow and easier to change. Eric W. Biederman (7): binfmt: Move install_exec_creds after setup_new_exec to match binfmt_elf exec: Make unlocking exec_update_mutex explict exec: Rename the flag called_exec_mmap point_of_no_return exec: Merge install_exec_creds into setup_new_exec exec: In setup_new_exec cache current in the local variable me exec: Move most of setup_new_exec into flush_old_exec exec: Rename flush_old_exec begin_new_exec Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst | 2 +- arch/x86/ia32/ia32_aout.c | 4 +- fs/binfmt_aout.c | 3 +- fs/binfmt_elf.c | 3 +- fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c | 3 +- fs/binfmt_flat.c | 4 +- fs/exec.c | 162 ++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- include/linux/binfmts.h | 10 +-- kernel/events/core.c | 2 +- 9 files changed, 92 insertions(+), 101 deletions(-) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87h7wujhmz.fsf@x220.int.ebiederm.org Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@linux-m68k.org> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
