A 'B' entry's load program selects its interpreter by absolute path,
which open_exec() resolves at exec time in the mount namespace of whoever
runs the binary. The handler names an interpreter but does not get to say
which file that is. Whoever controls the filesystem view of the exec
decides that instead.
Static entries settled this long ago with 'F'. The interpreter is opened
at registration in the registrant's context and every exec runs a clone
of that file. Give a 'B' entry the same, for as many interpreters as it
needs.
An entry registered with 'D' cannot be matched yet, so it still belongs
to whoever is configuring it and can be given interpreters one write at a
time:
echo ':qemu:B::::qemu_user:D' > register
echo '+aarch64 /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64' > qemu
echo '+arm /usr/bin/qemu-arm' > qemu
echo 1 > qemu
Each path is opened by its write, with the credentials the entry file
was opened with, by the same helper that opens an 'F' interpreter. The
load program picks one per exec with bpf_binprm_select_interp() and the
entry hands out a clone of it. Nothing is resolved again, in any
namespace. The path is everything past the first space, so no
interpreter has to fit in a register string. An entry binds at most a
hundred interpreters (BINFMT_MISC_INTERP_MAX). Every binding pins a
struct file that no file descriptor accounts for, so RLIMIT_NOFILE does
not apply and some cap is needed. A hundred is plenty and raising it
later is cheap, lowering it is not.
Selection is by name so the register string and the program need not
agree on an order, and so the handler is not tied to where a distribution
puts its interpreters. A name is a single word of printable ASCII so the
entry file can report 'name path' lines. The interpreter runs under the
path it was registered under.
The entry file reads user memory once. bm_entry_write() copies the write
in and dispatches on the first byte, and parse_command() takes the copied
buffer. The status file has no binding to spell, so it keeps its own
small copy in read_command().
That moves the length cap ahead of the dispatch. A write to an entry file
longer than a binding can be is now refused with -E2BIG, and one from a
bad address reports -EFAULT, where the command parser used to report
-EINVAL for anything past three bytes.
Configurations of one instance are kept apart by the lock removal
already takes. Reading the set out of the entry file takes no lock.
Bindings are rcu-published and the open entry file pins the entry
together with everything it bound, so a reader either sees a whole node
or misses it. The interpreter is opened before the configuration lock
because resolving the path may walk this very filesystem, and only
after the command has been parsed and the name validated from the
copied buffer, so a write that can never bind opens nothing and the
errno reflects the actual failure.
