Subject: fs/binfmts: better handling of binfmt loops
With these changes, when a binfmt loop is encountered, the ELOOP will
propagate back to the 0 depth. At this point the argv and argc values
will be reset to what they were originally and an attempt is made to
continue with the following binfmt handlers.
Caveats:
- binfmt_misc is skipped as a whole. To allow for a more generic
solution that works for any binfmt without a lot of duplicated code
and added complexity, the error detection code is applied on the
binfmt level.
- This is a fallback solution. It attempts to restore the state to allow
executing most binaries without side effects, but it may not work for
everything and should not be depended on for regular usage.
My (rough, but functional) test scripts for this issue are available at:
