This patch set 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. 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_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag, 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.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74481 documented that
it's not possible to fexecve() a file descriptor for a script with
close-on-exec set (which is possible with the implementation here).
- 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 in particular (of 3 = 2 kernel + 1 man-pages):
Adds the new system execveat(2) syscall. 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 NULL, 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 /proc being mounted.
Only x86-64, i386 and x32 ABIs are supported in this patch.
