[PATCH v2 3/5] fs: Enable to enforce noexec mounts or file exec through O_MAYEXEC

[MickaÃl SalaÃn]

Enable to either propagate the mount options from the underlying VFS
mount to prevent execution, or to propagate the file execute permission.
This may allow a script interpreter to check execution permissions
before reading commands from a file.

The main goal is to be able to protect the kernel by restricting
arbitrary syscalls that an attacker could perform with a crafted binary
or certain script languages.  It also improves multilevel isolation
by reducing the ability of an attacker to use side channels with
specific code.  These restrictions can natively be enforced for ELF
binaries (with the noexec mount option) but require this kernel
extension to properly handle scripts (e.g., Python, Perl).

Add a new sysctl fs.open_mayexec_enforce to control this behavior.  A
following patch adds documentation.

Changes since v1:
* move code from Yama to the FS subsystem (suggested by Kees Cook)
* make omayexec_inode_permission() static (suggested by Jann Horn)
* use mode 0600 for the sysctl
* only match regular files (not directories nor other types), which
  follows the same semantic as commit 73601ea5b7b1 ("fs/open.c: allow
  opening only regular files during execve()")
