Merge branch 'exec-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull execve updates from Eric Biederman: "During the development of v5.7 I ran into bugs and quality of implementation issues related to exec that could not be easily fixed because of the way exec is implemented. So I have been diggin into exec and cleaning up what I can. This cycle I have been looking at different ideas and different implementations to see what is possible to improve exec, and cleaning the way exec interfaces with in kernel users. Only cleaning up the interfaces of exec with rest of the kernel has managed to stabalize and make it through review in time for v5.9-rc1 resulting in 2 sets of changes this cycle. - Implement kernel_execve - Make the user mode driver code a better citizen With kernel_execve the code size got a little larger as the copying of parameters from userspace and copying of parameters from userspace is now separate. The good news is kernel threads no longer need to play games with set_fs to use exec. Which when combined with the rest of Christophs set_fs changes should security bugs with set_fs much more difficult" * 'exec-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (23 commits) exec: Implement kernel_execve exec: Factor bprm_stack_limits out of prepare_arg_pages exec: Factor bprm_execve out of do_execve_common exec: Move bprm_mm_init into alloc_bprm exec: Move initialization of bprm->filename into alloc_bprm exec: Factor out alloc_bprm exec: Remove unnecessary spaces from binfmts.h umd: Stop using split_argv umd: Remove exit_umh bpfilter: Take advantage of the facilities of struct pid exit: Factor thread_group_exited out of pidfd_poll umd: Track user space drivers with struct pid bpfilter: Move bpfilter_umh back into init data exec: Remove do_execve_file umh: Stop calling do_execve_file umd: Transform fork_usermode_blob into fork_usermode_driver umd: Rename umd_info.cmdline umd_info.driver_name umd: For clarity rename umh_info umd_info umh: Separate the user mode driver and the user mode helper support umh: Remove call_usermodehelper_setup_file. ...
