<content type='text'>
Currently copy_string_kernel is just a wrapper around copy_strings that
simplifies the calling conventions and uses set_fs to allow passing a
kernel pointer.  But due to the fact the we only need to handle a single
kernel argument pointer, the logic can be sigificantly simplified while
getting rid of the set_fs.

copy_strings_kernel is always used with a single argument,
adjust the calling convention to that.

Pull execve updates from Eric Biederman:
 "Last cycle for the Nth time I ran into bugs and quality of
  implementation issues related to exec that could not be easily be
  fixed because of the way exec is implemented. So I have been digging
  into exec and cleanup up what I can.

  I don't think I have exec sorted out enough to fix the issues I
  started with but I have made some headway this cycle with 4 sets of
  changes.

   - promised cleanups after introducing exec_update_mutex

   - trivial cleanups for exec

   - control flow simplifications

   - remove the recomputation of bprm-&gt;cred

  The net result is code that is a bit easier to understand and work
  with and a decrease in the number of lines of code (if you don't count
  the added tests)"

Pull proc updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This has four sets of changes:

   - modernize proc to support multiple private instances

   - ensure we see the exit of each process tid exactly

   - remove has_group_leader_pid

   - use pids not tasks in posix-cpu-timers lookup

  Alexey updated proc so each mount of proc uses a new superblock. This
  allows people to actually use mount options with proc with no fear of
  messing up another mount of proc. Given the kernel's internal mounts
  of proc for things like uml this was a real problem, and resulted in
  Android's hidepid mount options being ignored and introducing security
  issues.

  The rest of the changes are small cleanups and fixes that came out of
  my work to allow this change to proc. In essence it is swapping the
  pids in de_thread during exec which removes a special case the code
  had to handle. Then updating the code to stop handling that special
  case"

Move the computation of creds from prepare_binfmt into begin_new_exec
so that the creds need only be computed once.  This is just code
reorganization no semantic changes of any kind are made.

Moving the computation is safe.  I have looked through the kernel and
verified none of the binfmts look at bprm-&gt;cred directly, and that
there are no helpers that look at bprm-&gt;cred indirectly.  Which means
that it is not a problem to compute the bprm-&gt;cred later in the
execution flow as it is not used until it becomes current-&gt;cred.

A new function bprm_creds_from_file is added to contain the work that
needs to be done.  bprm_creds_from_file first computes which file
bprm-&gt;executable or most likely bprm-&gt;file that the bprm-&gt;creds
will be computed from.

The funciton bprm_fill_uid is updated to receive the file instead of
accessing bprm-&gt;file.  The now unnecessary work needed to reset the
bprm-&gt;cred-&gt;euid, and bprm-&gt;cred-&gt;egid is removed from brpm_fill_uid.
A small comment to document that bprm_fill_uid now only deals with the
work to handle suid and sgid files.  The default case is already
heandled by prepare_exec_creds.

The function security_bprm_repopulate_creds is renamed
security_bprm_creds_from_file and now is explicitly passed the file
from which to compute the creds.  The documentation of the
bprm_creds_from_file security hook is updated to explain when the hook
is called and what it needs to do.  The file is passed from
cap_bprm_creds_from_file into get_file_caps so that the caps are
computed for the appropriate file.  The now unnecessary work in
cap_bprm_creds_from_file to reset the ambient capabilites has been
removed.  A small comment to document that the work of
cap_bprm_creds_from_file is to read capabilities from the files
secureity attribute and derive capabilities from the fact the
user had uid 0 has been added.
