If I understand you correctly you would like to do the equivalent of 'execve("/proc/self/exe", argv[], envp[])' without having proc mounted. The file descriptor is stored in mm->exe_file. Probably the most straight forward implementation is to allow execveat(AT_EXE_FILE, ...). You can look at binfmt_misc for how to reopen an open file descriptor. >> --- a/fs/exec.c >> +++ b/fs/exec.c >> @@ -1323,7 +1323,10 @@ int begin_new_exec(struct linux_binprm * bprm) >> */ >> set_mm_exe_file(bprm->mm, bprm->file); >> >> + /* If the binary is not readable than enforce mm->dumpable=0 */ > > then It took me a minute yes good catch.
