A couple of things.
As has already been mentioned on your previous version anything that
comes through the filesystem interface needs to lookup up the local
binfmt context not through current but through file->f_dentry->d_sb.
AKA the superblock of the mounted filesystem.
As you have this coded any time a mount namespace is unshared you get a
new binfmt context. That has a very reasonable chance of breaking
existing userspace.
A mount of binfmt_misc today from within a user namespace is not allowed
which is why I have figured that will be a nice place to trigger
creating a new binfmt context.
It is fundamentally necessary to be able to get a pointer to the binfmt
context from current. Either stored in an existing namespace or
stored in nsproxy. Anything else will risk breaking backwards
compatibility with existing user space for no good reason.
What is fundamentally being changed is the behavior of exec.
Changing the behavior of exec needs to be carefully contained or we risk
confusing privileged applications.
I believe your last email to James Bottomley detailed a very strong use
case for this functionality.
As the key gains over the existing kernel is unprivileged use. As it is
the behavior of exec that is changing. You definitely need a user
namespace involved.
So I think the simplest would be to hang the binfmt context off of a
user namespace. But I am open to other ideas.
My primary concern is that we keep the cognitive and the maintenance
burden as small as is reasonably possible so that the costs don't out
weigh the benefit.
