Subject: exec: Fix NOMMU linux_binprm::exec in transfer_args_to_stack()
From: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 2aea94ac14d1e0a8ae9e34febebe208213ba72f7 upstream.
In NOMMU kernel the value of linux_binprm::p is the offset inside the
temporary program arguments array maintained in separate pages in the
linux_binprm::page. linux_binprm::exec being a copy of linux_binprm::p
thus must be adjusted when that array is copied to the user stack.
Without that adjustment the value passed by the NOMMU kernel to the ELF
program in the AT_EXECFN entry of the aux array doesn't make any sense
and it may break programs that try to access memory pointed to by that
entry.
Adjust linux_binprm::exec before the successful return from the
transfer_args_to_stack().
