Allow recursion in binfmt_script and binfmt_misc
binfmt_script and binfmt_misc disallow recursion to avoid stack overflow using sh_bang and misc_bang. It causes problem in some cases: $ echo '#!/bin/ls' > /tmp/t0 $ echo '#!/tmp/t0' > /tmp/t1 $ echo '#!/tmp/t1' > /tmp/t2 $ chmod +x /tmp/t* $ /tmp/t2 zsh: exec format error: /tmp/t2 Similar problem with binfmt_misc. This patch introduces field 'recursion_depth' into struct linux_binprm to track recursion level in binfmt_misc and binfmt_script. If recursion level more then BINPRM_MAX_RECURSION it generates -ENOEXEC. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make linux_binprm.recursion_depth a uint] Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
