[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 0/7] mm, exec: fix the MADV_DOEXEC code we carry from Oracle

[Konstantin Khorenko]

Fixes in the existing Oracle MADV_DOEXEC code, found while working on
VSTOR-149847, and a refusal of preserved memory across setuid exec.
Applies on top of "mm: keep DMA-pinned MADV_DOEXEC memory working across
exec".

- 1: vma_dup() takes no file reference for a file-backed VMA, so a
  private /dev/zero mapping marked MADV_DOEXEC is put twice
  (use-after-free of struct file, reachable unprivileged).
- 2: a private VM_PFNMAP VMA with NULL vm_ops passed as anonymous and
  its PAT memtype was freed twice; refuse VM_SPECIAL.
- 3: MADV_DOEXEC never cleared VM_MAYEXEC and MADV_DONTEXEC granted it
  unconditionally, also on noexec mounts; the copies made by exec and
  fork get back what do_mmap() granted.
- 4: load_elf_binary() looked for the opt-in note only in the last
  PT_NOTE segment; a binary whose linker puts it elsewhere silently got
  no preserved memory.
- 5: a setuid/secureexec exec with preserved memory is refused with
  EPERM before the point of no return: long-term pins driven from
  another process would keep writing into the privileged image.
- 6, 7: selftests for 5 and for 1 and 3.

Tested with the whole stack on release and debug kernels (MADV_DOEXEC
selftests, gup_test, a Container start/exec/stop).
