[RFC PATCH v2 2/2] ELF: Add ELF program property parsing support

From: Dave Martin
Date: Fri Aug 23 2019 - 13:24:37 EST


ELF program properties will needed for detecting whether to enable
optional architecture or ABI features for a new ELF process.

For now, there are no generic properties that we care about, so do
nothing unless CONFIG_ARCH_USE_GNU_PROPERTY=y.

Otherwise, the presence of properties using the PT_PROGRAM_PROPERTY
phdrs entry (if any), and notify each property to the arch code.

For now, the added code is not used.

Signed-off-by: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx>

Changes since RFC v1:

* Fix stupid typo in IS_ENABLED().

* Fix premature dereference of possibly-NULL phdr in
parse_elf_properties().

* Demote BUG_ON() to WARN_ON(), and add comments to explain why they
should never fire.

These are only for development and should probably go away before
merge.

* Enforce that there are no duplicate properties and that the
properties are sorted on pr_type.

This is not strictly necessary for kernel safety or for correct
handling of valid ELF files, but may help flag up binaries from duff
linkers which we would otherwise silently execute.

* Shuffle parse_elf_properties() logic to move as many checks as
possible into parse_elf_property(). This keeps most checks in the
same function as the code that relies on them, and simplifies the
outer parsing loop.

parse_elf_properties's cursor is now just a byte offset into the
note, which makes comparisons more straightfward and reduces the
amount of pointer casting a bit.
