    exec: change uselib(2) IS_SREG() failure to EACCES · db19c91c
    Kees Cook authored Aug 11, 2020
    Patch series "Relocate execve() sanity checks", v2.
    
    While looking at the code paths for the proposed O_MAYEXEC flag, I saw
    some things that looked like they should be fixed up.
    
      exec: Change uselib(2) IS_SREG() failure to EACCES
    	This just regularizes the return code on uselib(2).
    
      exec: Move S_ISREG() check earlier
    	This moves the S_ISREG() check even earlier than it was already.
    
      exec: Move path_noexec() check earlier
    	This adds the path_noexec() check to the same place as the
    	S_ISREG() check.
    
    This patch (of 3):
    
    Change uselib(2)' S_ISREG() error return to EACCES instead of EINVAL so
    the behavior matches execve(2), and the seemingly documented value.  The
    "not a regular file" failure mode of execve(2) is explicitly
    documented[1], but it is not mentioned in uselib(2)[2] which does,
    however, say that open(2) and mmap(2) errors may apply.  The documentation
    for open(2) does not include a "not a regular file" error[3], but mmap(2)
    does[4], and it is EACCES.
