    exec: Move bprm_mm_init into alloc_bprm · f18ac551
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    Currently it is necessary for the usermode helper code and the code that
    launches init to use set_fs so that pages coming from the kernel look like
    they are coming from userspace.
    
    To allow that usage of set_fs to be removed cleanly the argument copying
    from userspace needs to happen earlier.  Move the allocation and
    initialization of bprm->mm into alloc_bprm so that the bprm->mm is
    available early to store the new user stack into.  This is a prerequisite
    for copying argv and envp into the new user stack early before ther rest of
    exec.
    
    To keep the things consistent the cleanup of bprm->mm is moved into
    free_bprm.  So that bprm->mm will be cleaned up whenever bprm->mm is
    allocated and free_bprm are called.
    
    Moving bprm_mm_init earlier is safe as it does not depend on any files,
    current->in_execve, current->fs->in_exec, bprm->unsafe, or the if the file
    table is shared. (AKA bprm_mm_init does not depend on any of the code that
    happens between alloc_bprm and where it was previously called.)
    
    This moves bprm->mm cleanup after current->fs->in_exec is set to 0.  This
    is safe because current->fs->in_exec is only used to preventy taking an
    additional reference on the fs_struct.
    
    This moves bprm->mm cleanup after current->in_execve is set to 0.  This is
    safe because current->in_execve is only used by the lsms (apparmor and
    tomoyou) and always for LSM specific functions, never for anything to do
    with the mm.
    
    This adds bprm->mm cleanup into the successful return path.  This is safe
    because being on the successful return path implies that begin_new_exec
    succeeded and set brpm->mm to NULL.  As bprm->mm is NULL bprm cleanup I am
    moving into free_bprm will do nothing.
