[PATCH 2/7] exec: Factor out alloc_bprm

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently it is necessary for the usermode helper code and the code
that launches init to use set_fs so that pages coming from the kernel
look like they are coming from userspace.

To allow that usage of set_fs to be removed cleanly the argument
copying from userspace needs to happen earlier.  Move the allocation
of the bprm into it's own function (alloc_bprm) and move the call of
alloc_bprm before unshare_files so that bprm can ultimately be
allocated, the arguments can be placed on the new stack, and then the
bprm can be passed into the core of exec.

Neither the allocation of struct binprm nor the unsharing depend upon each
other so swapping the order in which they are called is trivially safe.

To keep things consistent the order of cleanup at the end of
do_execve_common swapped to match the order of initialization.
