Eric W. Biederman 9d9488d4d7 exec: Control flow simplifications
It is hard to follow the control flow in exec.c as the code has evolved over
time and something that used to work one way now works another.  This set of
changes attempts to address the worst of that, to remove unnecessary work
and to make the code a little easier to follow.

The churn is a bit higher than the last version of this patchset, with
renaming and cleaning up of comments.  I have split security_bprm_set_creds
into security_bprm_creds_for_exec and security_bprm_repopulate_creds.  My
goal was to make it clear that one hook completes its work while the other
recaculates it's work each time a new interpreter is selected.

I have added a new change at the beginning to make it clear that neither
security_bprm_creds_for_exec nor security_bprm_repopulate_creds needs to be
implemented as prepare_exec_creds properly does the work of setting up
credentials unless something special is going on.

I have made the execfd support generic and moved out of binfmt_misc so that
I can remove the recursion.

I have moved reassigning bprm->file into the loop that replaces the
recursion.  In doing so I discovered that binfmt_misc was naughty and
was returning -ENOEXEC in such a way that the search_binary_handler loop
could not continue.  So I added a change to remove that naughtiness.

Eric W. Biederman (8):
      exec: Teach prepare_exec_creds how exec treats uids & gids
      exec: Factor security_bprm_creds_for_exec out of security_bprm_set_creds
      exec: Convert security_bprm_set_creds into security_bprm_repopulate_creds
      exec: Allow load_misc_binary to call prepare_binfmt unconditionally
      exec: Move the call of prepare_binprm into search_binary_handler
      exec/binfmt_script: Don't modify bprm->buf and then return -ENOEXEC
      exec: Generic execfd support
      exec: Remove recursion from search_binary_handler

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
