[PATCH 5.1 06/55] fs/binfmt_flat.c: make load_flat_shared_library() work

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 867bfa4a5fcee66f2b25639acae718e8b28b25a5 upstream.

load_flat_shared_library() is broken: It only calls load_flat_file() if
prepare_binprm() returns zero, but prepare_binprm() returns the number of
bytes read - so this only happens if the file is empty.

Instead, call into load_flat_file() if the number of bytes read is
non-negative. (Even if the number of bytes is zero - in that case,
load_flat_file() will see nullbytes and return a nice -ENOEXEC.)

In addition, remove the code related to bprm creds and stop using
prepare_binprm() - this code is loading a library, not a main executable,
and it only actually uses the members "buf", "file" and "filename" of the
linux_binprm struct. Instead, call kernel_read() directly.
