[PATCH v2 0/3] Relocate execve() sanity checks

From: Kees Cook

Hi,

While looking at the code paths for the proposed O_MAYEXEC flag, I saw
some things that looked like they should be fixed up.

exec: Change uselib(2) IS_SREG() failure to EACCES
This just regularizes the return code on uselib(2).

exec: Move S_ISREG() check earlier
This moves the S_ISREG() check even earlier than it was already.

exec: Move path_noexec() check earlier
This adds the path_noexec() check to the same place as the
S_ISREG() check.

v2:
- move checks into may_open() using acc_mode instead of f_mode to correctly
compose with other inode file type tests[1].
- drop the FMODE_EXEC f_flags -> f_mode change for now since it remains
unclear if it's useful (and is not needed any more for this series).
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-api/20200518055457.12302-1-keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx/

Thanks!
