[PATCH] x86: clear EXTRA_REGS for all executable formats

From: Denys Vlasenko
Date: Sat Apr 04 2015 - 14:55:41 EST


On failure, sys_execve does not clobber EXTRA_REGS, so we can just
return to userpsace without saving/restoring them.

On success, ELF_PLAT_INIT in sys_execve clears all these registers.

On other executable formats:
binfmt_flat.c has similar FLAT_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and everyone else
except sh) doesn't define it.
binfmt_elf_fdpic.c has ELF_FDPIC_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and most others)
doesn't define it.
There are no such hooks in binfmt_aout.c et al. We inherit
EXTRA_REGS from the prior executable.

This was not intended.

This change removes SAVE/RESTORE_EXTRA_REGS in stub_execve,
removes register clearing in ELF_PLAT_INIT,
and instead simply clears them on success in stub_execve.

Run-tested.
