Merge tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.binfmt' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull binfmt updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a bunch of work for binfmt_misc. It fixes a bunch of old bugs, reworks the locking, and then extends the format registry so a binary type can be matched programmatically and its interpreter computed per exec instead of being a fixed string recorded at registration time.
This allows nixos and other to e.g., implement relocatable binaries meaning the interpreter/dynamic loader can be determined programatically, say found relative to the binary. The mechanism is flexible and can support other policies:
- Handler lookup is now an rcu walk. An exec that matches no binfmt_misc entry should now never write to a shared cacheline
- remove the VERBOSE_STATUS and USE_DEBUG compile time toggles
- convert the entry file to a seq_file which simplifies things quite a bit and kills a lot of custom logic
- make flags proper enums
- rename struct Node to binfmt_misc_entry
- allow entries to be removed with unlink(2)
- Add the ability to attach bpf programs to binfmt_misc entries so it's possible to dynamically choose the execution environment such as the loader or interpreter on a per binary basis.
A handler is an instance of a binfmt_misc_ops struct_ops with a ->match() and a ->load() program. match() decides from the entry lookup walk whether the handler applies under the same registration-order. It can read file content as needed not only the prefetched 256 bytes in bprm->buf.
load() then selects the interpreter and stages it through the new bpf_binprm_set_interp(), bpf_binprm_set_interp_arg() and bpf_binprm_set_flags() kfuncs.
Handlers are published in a registry keyed by the registering task's user namespace and activated through the existing text interface with a new 'B' type carrying the handler name:
echo ':origin:B::::nix:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
The permission and namespacing model is unchanged. Activating a handler requires the same write access to an instance as any other registration. A container mounting its own instance escapes the host's entries exactly as before. The computed interpreter is opened with open_exec() under the caller's credentials and goes through full LSM vetting as the next binprm level. A program can only ever redirect the caller to something the caller could exec anyway.
- Two dispatch modes are added. So far the chosen interpreter owns the whole process identity (argv[0], /proc/pid/cmdline, /proc/self/exe all name interpreter information). So relocatable find the dynamic linker instead. Also a binary passed to execveat() as an inaccessible O_CLOEXEC fd cannot run at all and gdb trips because AT_ENTRY and AT_PHDR do not match the exe file. So PIE symbols are unrelocated.
This adds transparent dispatch which allows the interpreter to load the binary through AT_EXECFD and leaves the argument vector exactly as the caller built it and labels mm->exe_file and comm with the binary. It also raises the AT_FLAGS_TRANSPARENT_INTERP aux vector bit. The interpreter keeps control of mapping the binary.
The second mode is loader substitution. This allows a binary to be executed natively and only the interpreter to be changed.
- Last, interpreters can be bound at registration time. Each interpreter is opened by its own write with the credentials the entry file was opened with. The program picks one per exec with bpf_binprm_select_interp().
Ucounts are used to properly account for pre-opened interpreters via /proc/sys/user/max_binfmt_misc_interpreters"

Merge patch series "binfmt_misc: bound the interpreters an entry can pre-open"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
An 'F' entry opens its interpreter at registration and every exec runs a clone of it. A 'B' entry does the same for each interpreter it binds. That file stays open for as long as the entry lives. So it pins the file, its inode, the mount it came from and that mount's superblock.
An entry binds at most 100 interpreters, but nothing caps the entries. binfmt_misc is container mountable so all of this is reachable by unprivileged users.
While the pins go away when the instance is unmounted, it's still weird for an unprivileged namespace to be allowed to do this. And the fix is simple.
Charge each binding to the user namespace and uid that makes it against a new UCOUNT_BINFMT_MISC_INTERPRETERS and refuse with -ENOSPC when the limit is hit.
A per-instance cap won't do. Instances are keyed on the user namespace, so whatever constant I pick gets multiplied by however many namespaces the caller cares to create. inc_ucount() charges the namespace and every one of its ancestors, and a namespace can only ever raise its own limit, so nesting buys nothing.
The knob is /proc/sys/user/max_binfmt_misc_interpreters, per namespace like every other ucount. I left it at the max_threads/2 default that fork_init() hands a new ucount type. Nothing anyone runs today comes anywhere near that.
Selftests for all of it, including that a nested namespace can't buy itself budget.

Skips where the sysctl or binfmt_misc is missing. The 'B' case lives in binfmt_misc_bpf.c because binding needs a handler. It binds from a child in a user namespace of its own, through the fd the child inherited, so the charge lands on the child while the interpreter is still opened with the entry file's credentials, and nothing outside the child sees a changed limit.

Merge patch series "binfmt_misc: transparent interpreters and PT_INTERP loader substitution"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
binfmt_misc has exactly one execution model where the registered interpreter becomes the executed program and the matched binary is handed to it as an argument. For wine or qemu-user that is the point. For a per-binary loader it is backwards. The interpreter is an implementation detail of running the binary, yet it owns the entire process identity:
- argv[0] and /proc/pid/cmdline show the interpreter invocation, not what the caller executed.
- /proc/self/exe names the interpreter. Relocatable programs commonly locate themselves through it and find the dynamic linker instead.
- A binary passed to execveat() as an inaccessible O_CLOEXEC fd cannot run at all as the interpreter has no path to open it by.
- gdb cross-validates AT_ENTRY/AT_PHDR against the exe file and discards the load displacement on mismatch leaving PIE symbols unrelocated.
This series adds two dispatch modes that close the gap from opposite ends:
(1) transparent dispatch
Registered with the 'T' flag or chosen per exec with BPF_BINPRM_TRANSPARENT. The binary is sent to the interpreter through AT_EXECFD, the argument vector stays exactly as the caller built it, and the kernel labels mm->exe_file and comm with the binary. A new AT_FLAGS_TRANSPARENT_INTERP aux vector bit is raised indicating that nothing was spliced, argv belongs to the program, and to load it from the descriptor.
The interpreter keeps control of mapping the binary, so the mode covers foreign architectures and non-ELF payloads.
The exe label is not a new privilege. It names precisely the file the caller passed to execve(), not a file of the process's choosing. That file is permission-checked, write-denied while the process runs and recorded by audit. Credential derivation does not change exactly as today.
(2) loader substitution
The kernel executes the matched binary natively as the main image and substitutes the registered interpreter for the binary's PT_INTERP. binfmt_misc functions as a PT_INTERP override. There is no contract and no identity to reconstruct. So a stock dynamic loader works unchanged. Hence, 'L' is for native-arch ELF with PT_INTERP.
The two modes compose. A bpf handler reads the ELF header from bprm->buf and grades per binary, picking 'L' where it applies and 'T' or classic dispatch for the rest. If userspace control over relocation is wanted 'T' is the way to go.

selftests/exec: test binfmt_misc loader substitution
Exercise the 'L' flag end to end. The payload runs as the main image with a copy of the system loader substituted for its PT_INTERP, and asserts the native identity from inside:
- argv exactly as the caller built it - no AT_EXECFD - AT_FLAGS clear - AT_BASE set but outside its own image - AT_PHDR/AT_ENTRY inside it - /proc/self/{exe,comm,stat} and AT_EXECFN all describing the binary - ETXTBSY on the running binary - the substituted loader visible in /proc/self/maps under its real path
Magic matching pokes a marker into the ELF header's e_ident padding (EI_PAD, offset 9), which sits inside the match window and is ignored by kernel and loader alike. the same binary is also matched by extension.
Two cases cover the paths where the substitution does not happen. A '#!' file that matched an 'L' entry is claimed by binfmt_script rather than by binfmt_elf, so the staged substitute has to be released when the interpreter replaces the file; the test opens the loader for writing afterwards, which fails with ETXTBSY if the write denial was leaked instead. A relative interpreter path is rejected at registration for both 'L' and 'C', neither of which may resolve one against the working directory of whoever runs the binary.
The bpf-side BPF_BINPRM_LOADER path shares all machinery past the flag mapping. A harness case for it can join the bpf runtime coverage of the transparent series.

selftests/exec: test the transparent binfmt_misc mode
Verify the identity a transparent dispatch constructs, from both activation paths.
- binfmt_misc_transparent: registers a magic entry with the static 'T' flag and execs a matched binary with arguments.
- binfmt_misc_bpf: a handler whose load program sets BPF_BINPRM_TRANSPARENT.
Both dispatch to a shared asserting interpreter that runs in place of the binary and checks the contract from the inside:
- AT_FLAGS carries AT_FLAGS_TRANSPARENT_INTERP - AT_EXECFD refers to the very inode of the binary - /proc/self/exe resolves to the binary - argv and /proc/self/cmdline are exactly what the caller passed with nothing spliced in - comm is the binary's basename - the binary is write-denied while it runs
The static test also validates the registration. 'T' combined with 'P' must be rejected. A kernel that does not know 'T' turns the test into a skip. The asserting interpreter and the static test build without the bpf toolchain so the core transparent semantics stay covered on systems where the bpf cases are skipped.
The flag support probe, the canonical payload argv with the run_payload() helper that execs it, and the identity assertions (exe link, comm, write denial) live in binfmt_misc_common.h; the loader substitution test reuses all of them.

Merge patch series "binfmt_misc: bpf-backed binary type handlers"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
binfmt_misc: bpf-backed binary type handlers
This is a POC for the nix people and Farid and Eric in particular. I would take my hands off the wheel now that I POCed this and hand it to Farid if he likes to take it forward.
VL;MR (very long, must read):
For a while now Farid has been trying to make relocatable, hermetic binaries (think Nix-style store layouts) work without patchelf tricks or wrapper scripts. For such binaries the right dynamic loader can only be determined relative to the location of the binary itself, which neither PT_INTERP nor a fixed binfmt_misc interpreter string can express.
The first attempt was $ORIGIN expansion in PT_INTERP [1]. I pushed back on that. Userspace guards $ORIGIN behind AT_SECURE so the kernel would have to make the used loader depend on the type of binary, LSMs would need a say, it changes long-standing behavior in ways that are ripe for loader injection attacks, and bprm->file may not have a usable path at all (memfds, deleted files, unresolvable paths). Making the kernel splice bprm->file back together with PT_INTERP is terrible. The second attempt was a pluggable ELF interpreter loader registry [2] which would mean actual kernel modules for custom binary formats. Also no. binfmt_misc was invented to kill exactly this horrendous past.
What I suggested instead [3] was to put this where delegating binary formats to userspace already lives: binfmt_misc. The only things binfmt_misc cannot do today are matching programmatically and computing the interpreter per binary instead of using a fixed string recorded at registration time. Farid prototyped that with an eBPF program [4] and it turned out quite workable, but the prototype ran a SOCKET_FILTER program over bprm->buf, added a new helper to the frozen uapi helper list, and returned the computed path through per-CPU memory.
This series is the proposal turned into what I think the bpf side {c,sh}ould actually look like. It is a POC: it builds, the selftests pass, and the design is what I want to discuss. The selftests are Farid's from his v2 posting, adapted to the contract below.
A handler is an instance of the new binfmt_misc_ops struct_ops with a name and two ops:
struct binfmt_misc_ops { bool (*match)(struct linux_binprm *bprm); int (*load)(struct linux_binprm *bprm); char name[BINFMT_MISC_OPS_NAME_MAX]; };
Both programs receive the bprm as a trusted BTF pointer and both are sleepable. The match program decides from the entry lookup walk whether the handler applies, under the same rules as magic matching: registration order, first match wins. It is not limited to the prefetched 256 bytes in bprm->buf: it can read arbitrary file content through bpf_dynptr_from_file(), e.g. to find an ELF interpreter segment at whatever offset it sits. That is what makes multiple independent handlers workable at all - a handler that cannot read the file would have to match broadly and reject from its load program, stealing the binaries of every handler registered after it. To make this safe the entry walk becomes an SRCU read-side section. The load program of the matched handler then selects the interpreter, reading the file the same way and resolving the binary's location via bpf_path_d_path() on &bprm->file->f_path. That also solves the prototype's limitation of only seeing the first 256 bytes of the file. Selecting is the load program's privilege: the verifier rejects the selection kfuncs in match, keyed off the struct_ops member a program attaches to. A match commits the exec to the handler: a failing load fails the exec instead of falling through to later entries, with -ENOEXEC handing over to the remaining binary formats, so the walk is never left and re-entered.
The genuinely new piece of bpf surface is a small family of kfuncs:
int bpf_binprm_set_interp(struct linux_binprm *bprm, const char *path, size_t path__sz); int bpf_binprm_set_interp_arg(struct linux_binprm *bprm, const char *arg, size_t arg__sz); int bpf_binprm_set_flags(struct linux_binprm *bprm, enum bpf_binprm_flags flags);
staging the selected interpreter, an optional single argument for it (the slot the optional argument of a #! interpreter line has), and the per-exec invocation flags - 'P', 'C' and 'O' equivalents. Selection cannot go through bprm_change_interp() directly because load_misc_binary() copies bprm->interp into argv[1] after the program ran, hence the staging fields added in patch 1.
Registering (attaching) the struct_ops map publishes the handler under its name in a registry keyed by the registering task's user namespace. Activation reuses the existing text interface with a new 'B' type where the interpreter field carries the handler name - it consistently names whoever supplies the interpreter - and offset, magic, and mask must be empty:
echo ':origin:B::::nix:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
This keeps the existing permission and namespacing model completely intact. Activating a handler requires the same write access to a binfmt_misc instance as any other registration, a container mounting its own instance escapes the host's entries exactly as before, and shadowing e.g. all ELF binaries takes the same privilege as a static 'M' entry matching \x7fELF does today.
The only novelty is that matching becomes programmable. Handler lookup walks the user namespace hierarchy upwards, mirroring how binfmt_misc instances themselves are resolved, so a handler registered on the host can be activated from a container's own instance without being forced upon it.
The computed interpreter is opened with open_exec() under the caller's credentials and goes through the full LSM vetting as the next binprm level, exactly like a statically registered interpreter, so the program cannot widen access. It only ever redirects the caller to something the caller could exec anyway.
A 'B' entry carries no flags in the register string: the load program chooses the invocation flags per exec through bpf_binprm_set_flags() instead. BPF_BINPRM_PRESERVE_ARGV0, BPF_BINPRM_CREDENTIALS and BPF_BINPRM_EXECFD keep the static 'P', 'C' and 'O' semantics - BPF_BINPRM_CREDENTIALS honors the matched binary's suid bits exactly as a static 'C' entry does, with the setuid transition gated by vfsuid_has_mapping() in the caller's user namespace either way, which makes 'B' handlers usable for a per-binary loader over setuid binaries. 'F' (pre-open a fixed interpreter) is rejected: a 'B' entry has no fixed interpreter. AT_EXECVE_CHECK never invokes programs and interpreter chains stay capped by the usual ELOOP depth.
A handler for the Nix case then looks roughly like:
SEC("struct_ops.s/match") bool BPF_PROG(nix_match, struct linux_binprm *bprm) { return !bpf_strncmp(bprm->buf, 4, "\x7f" "ELF"); }
SEC("struct_ops.s/load") int BPF_PROG(nix_load, struct linux_binprm *bprm) { char path[256]; long n;
n = bpf_path_d_path(&bprm->file->f_path, path, sizeof(path)); if (n < 0) return n;
/* derive the loader location from the binary's path */
return bpf_binprm_set_interp(bprm, path, sizeof(path)); }
SEC(".struct_ops.link") struct binfmt_misc_ops nix = { .match = (void *)nix_match, .load = (void *)nix_load, .name = "nix", };
Farid, this should slot underneath your qemu demo from [4] with the program ported to struct_ops. Feel free to take it from here.

selftests/exec: add binfmt_misc bpf-backed handler test
Exercise the bpf-backed ('B') binfmt_misc handlers end to end. A handler is a struct binfmt_misc_ops struct_ops map; the test loads and attaches it (which publishes it by name), activates it with a 'B' entry, and checks that a matched binary is routed to the interpreter the program selected via bpf_binprm_set_interp().
Two self-contained cases are covered:
- bpf_interp: the match program matches a synthetic aarch64 ELF header from the prefetched bprm->buf and the load program routes it to a fixed interpreter of its choosing. - nix_origin: the match program parses the program headers to commit only to a "$ORIGIN/..."-relative PT_INTERP and the load program resolves it to an interpreter co-located with the binary -- the relocatable-loader case the kernel ELF loader cannot express. The relocatable binary is linked with PT_INTERP set to the literal "$ORIGIN/binfmt_bpf_interp" (-Wl,--dynamic-linker), which the kernel cannot resolve on its own.
Both route to a small test interpreter that prints a marker, proving the program-selected interpreter actually ran.
The bpf objects are compiled against the running kernel's BTF: the Makefile generates vmlinux.h with bpftool and the harness links libbpf. Override CLANG/BPFTOOL/VMLINUX_BTF/LIBBPF_CFLAGS/LIBBPF_LDLIBS as needed. The bpf pieces are only built when clang, bpftool, the vmlinux BTF and libbpf are all present (HAVE_BPF_TOOLCHAIN=y forces them) so the other exec selftests keep building without a bpf toolchain.
Christian Brauner (Amutable) <brauner@kernel.org> says:
Adapted to the two-op contract: 'B' entries carry the handler name in the interpreter field, both programs are sleepable, the match programs decide. nix_origin reads PT_INTERP from the match program and load returns zero on success. Skip on kernels without binfmt_misc_ops in BTF. Build the bpf pieces only when the toolchain is present and gitignore the generated artifacts.

Merge branch 'for-6.15/amd_sfh' into for-linus
From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>
Some platforms include a human presence detection (HPD) sensor. When enabled and a user is detected a wake event will be emitted from the sensor fusion hub that software can react to.
Example use cases are "wake from suspend on approach" or to "lock when leaving".
This is currently enabled by default on supported systems, but users can't control it. This essentially means that wake on approach is enabled which is a really surprising behavior to users that don't expect it.
Instead of defaulting to enabled add a sysfs knob that users can use to enable the feature if desirable and set it to disabled by default.

samples/check-exec: Add an enlighten "inc" interpreter and 28 tests
Add a very simple script interpreter called "inc" that can evaluate two different commands (one per line): - "?" to initialize a counter from user's input; - "+" to increment the counter (which is set to 0 by default).
It is enlighten to only interpret executable files according to AT_EXECVE_CHECK and the related securebits:
# Executing a script with RESTRICT_FILE is only allowed if the script # is executable: ./set-exec -f -- ./inc script-exec.inc # Allowed ./set-exec -f -- ./inc script-noexec.inc # Denied
# Executing stdin with DENY_INTERACTIVE is only allowed if stdin is an # executable regular file: ./set-exec -i -- ./inc -i < script-exec.inc # Allowed ./set-exec -i -- ./inc -i < script-noexec.inc # Denied
# However, a pipe is not executable and it is then denied: cat script-noexec.inc | ./set-exec -i -- ./inc -i # Denied
# Executing raw data (e.g. command argument) with DENY_INTERACTIVE is # always denied. ./set-exec -i -- ./inc -c "+" # Denied ./inc -c "$(<script-ask.inc)" # Allowed
# To directly execute a script, we can update $PATH (used by `env`): PATH="${PATH}:." ./script-exec.inc
# To execute several commands passed as argument:
Add a complete test suite to check the script interpreter against all possible execution cases:

Test that checks performed by execveat(..., AT_EXECVE_CHECK) are consistent with noexec mount points and file execute permissions.
Test that SECBIT_EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE and SECBIT_EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE are inherited by child processes and that they can be pinned with the appropriate SECBIT_EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE_LOCKED and SECBIT_EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE_LOCKED bits.
