This series has grown... :P
As discussed with Linus and Andy, we need to reset the stack rlimit
before we do memory layouts when execing a privilege-gaining (e.g.
setuid) program. To do this, we need to know the results of the
bprm_secureexec hook before memory layouts. As it turns out, this
can be made _mostly_ trivial by collapsing bprm_secureexec into
bprm_set_creds.
The LSMs using bprm_secureexec nearly always save state between
bprm_set_creds and bprm_secureexec. In the face of multiple calls to
bprm_set_creds (via prepare_binprm() calls from binfmt_script, etc),
all LSMs except commoncap only pay attention to the first call, so
that aligns well with collapsing bprm_secureexec into bprm_set_creds.
The commoncaps, though, needs to check the _last_ bprm_set_creds, so
this series just swaps one bprm flag for another (cap_effective is no
longer needed to save state between bprm_set_creds and bprm_secureexec,
but we do need to keep a separate state, so we add the cap_elevated flag).
Once secureexec is available to setup_new_exec() before the memory
layout, we can add an rlimit sanity-check for setuid execs. (With no
need to clean up since we're past the point of no return.)
Along the way, this fixes comments, renames a variable, and consolidates
dumpability and pdeath_signal clearing, which includes some commit log
archeology to examine the subtle differences between what we had and
what we need.
I'd appreciate some extra eyes on this to make sure this isn't broken
in some special way. Looking at the diffstat, even after all my long
comments, this is a net reduction in lines. :)
Given this crosses a bunch of areas, I think this is likely best to
go via the -mm tree, which is where nearly all of my prior exec work
has lived too.
Thanks!
