Subject: [PATCHv9 0/5] syscalls,x86,sparc: Add execveat() system call
This patch set adds execveat(2) for x86, and is derived from Meredydd
Luff's patch from Sept 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/11/528).
The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an
implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc
filesystem, at least for executables (rather than scripts). The
current glibc version of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which
causes problems in sandboxed or otherwise restricted environments.
Given the desire for a /proc-free fexecve() implementation, HPA
suggested (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/556) that an execveat(2)
syscall would be an appropriate generalization.
Also, having a new syscall means that it can take a flags argument
without back-compatibility concerns. The current implementation just
defines the AT_EMPTY_PATH and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags, but other
flags could be added in future -- for example, flags for new namespaces
(as suggested at https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/474).
Related history:
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/27/123 is an example of someone
realizing that fexecve() is likely to fail in a chroot environment.
- http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514043 covered
documenting the /proc requirement of fexecve(3) in its manpage, to
"prevent other people from wasting their time".
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241609 described a
problem where a process that did setuid() could not fexecve()
because it no longer had access to /proc/self/fd; this has since
been fixed.
Changes since v8:
- Split core/fs changes from x86 changes [Thomas Gleixner]
Changes since v7:
- Speculatively wire up sparc version of syscall (untested)
- Fix leak of pathbuf in mainline arm [Oleg Nesterov]
- Add rcu_dereference_raw() on fdt access [sparse kbuild robot]
- Realigned comment [Andrew Morton]
- Merged up to v3.18-rc4
Changes since v6:
- Remove special case for O_PATH file descriptors [Andy Lutomirski]
- Use kasprintf rather than error-prone arithmetic [Kees Cook]
- Add test for long name [Kees Cook]
- Add test for non-executable O_PATH fd [Andy Lutomirski]
Changes since v5:
- Set new flag in bprm->interp_flags for O_CLOEXEC fds, so that binfmts
that invoke an interpreter fail the exec (as they will not be able
to access the invoked file). [Andy Lutomirski]
- Don't truncate long paths. [Andy Lutomirski]
- Commonize code to open the executed file. [Eric W. Biederman]
- Mark O_PATH file descriptors so they cannot be fexecve()ed.
- Make self-test more helpful, and add additional cases:
- file offset non-zero
- binary file without execute bit
- O_CLOEXEC fds
Changes since v4, suggested by Eric W. Biederman:
- Use empty filename with AT_EMPTY_PATH flag rather than NULL
pathname to request fexecve-like behaviour.
- Build pathname as "/dev/fd/<fd>/<filename>" (or "/dev/fd/<fd>")
rather than using d_path().
- Patch against v3.17 (bfe01a5ba249)
Changes since Meredydd's v3 patch:
- Added a selftest.
- Added a man page.
- Left open_exec() signature untouched to reduce patch impact
elsewhere (as suggested by Al Viro).
- Filled in bprm->filename with d_path() into a buffer, to avoid use
of potentially-ephemeral dentry->d_name.
- Patch against v3.14 (455c6fdbd21916).
