      syscalls: implement execveat() system call · 51f39a1f
      David Drysdale 提交于
      This patchset adds execveat(2) for x86, and is derived from Meredydd
      Luff's patch from Sept 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/11/528).
      
      The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an
      implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc filesystem,
      at least for executables (rather than scripts).  The current glibc version
      of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which causes problems in sandboxed
      or otherwise restricted environments.
      
      Given the desire for a /proc-free fexecve() implementation, HPA suggested
      (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/556) that an execveat(2) syscall would be
      an appropriate generalization.
      
      Also, having a new syscall means that it can take a flags argument without
      back-compatibility concerns.  The current implementation just defines the
      AT_EMPTY_PATH and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags, but other flags could be
      added in future -- for example, flags for new namespaces (as suggested at
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/474).
      
      Related history:
       - https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/27/123 is an example of someone
         realizing that fexecve() is likely to fail in a chroot environment.
       - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514043 covered
         documenting the /proc requirement of fexecve(3) in its manpage, to
         "prevent other people from wasting their time".
       - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241609 described a
         problem where a process that did setuid() could not fexecve()
         because it no longer had access to /proc/self/fd; this has since
         been fixed.
      
      This patch (of 4):
      
      Add a new execveat(2) system call.  execveat() is to execve() as openat()
      is to open(): it takes a file descriptor that refers to a directory, and
      resolves the filename relative to that.
      
      In addition, if the filename is empty and AT_EMPTY_PATH is specified,
      execveat() executes the file to which the file descriptor refers.  This
      replicates the functionality of fexecve(), which is a system call in other
      UNIXen, but in Linux glibc it depends on opening "/proc/self/fd/<fd>" (and
      so relies on /proc being mounted).
      
      The filename fed to the executed program as argv[0] (or the name of the
      script fed to a script interpreter) will be of the form "/dev/fd/<fd>"
      (for an empty filename) or "/dev/fd/<fd>/<filename>", effectively
      reflecting how the executable was found.  This does however mean that
      execution of a script in a /proc-less environment won't work; also, script
      execution via an O_CLOEXEC file descriptor fails (as the file will not be
      accessible after exec).
      
      Based on patches by Meredydd Luff.

      [PATCH] audit syscall classes · b915543b
      Al Viro 提交于
      Allow to tie upper bits of syscall bitmap in audit rules to kernel-defined
      sets of syscalls.  Infrastructure, a couple of classes (with 32bit counterparts
      for biarch targets) and actual tie-in on i386, amd64 and ia64.
