binfmt_misc: add comments & debug logs
When trying to develop a custom format handler, the errors returned all
effectively get bucketed as EINVAL with no kernel messages. The other
errors (ENOMEM/EFAULT) are internal/obvious and basic. Thus any time a
bad handler is rejected, the developer has to walk the dense code and
try to guess where it went wrong. Needing to dive into kernel code is
itself a fairly high barrier for a lot of people.
To improve this situation, let's deploy extensive pr_debug markers at
logical parse points, and add comments to the dense parsing logic. It
let's you see exactly where the parsing aborts, the string the kernel
received (useful when dealing with shell code), how it translated the
buffers to binary data, and how it will apply the mask at runtime.
Some example output:
$ echo
':qemu-foo:M::\x7fELF\xAD\xAD\x01\x00:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\x00:/usr/bin/qemu-foo:POC'

... and looking at it shows the following garbage:
p[-1] = '\0';
- if (!e->magic[0])
+ if (p == e->magic)
That code makes no sense whatsoever - if p *was* equal to e->magic, the
assignment before it would be obviously broken. And a few lines later we
have another chunk just like that.
Moreover, if you look at further context, you'll see that it's
e->magic = p;
p = scanarg(p, del);
if (!p)
sod off
p[-1] = '\0';
if (p == e->magic)
sod off
Now, that condition could be true only if scanarg(p, del) would return p,
right? Let's take a look at scanarg():
static char *scanarg(char *s, char del)
{
char c;
while ((c = *s++) != del) {
if (c == '\\' && *s == 'x') {
s++;
if (!isxdigit(*s++))
return NULL;
if (!isxdigit(*s++))
return NULL;
}
}
return s;
}
See that s++ in the loop condition? There's no way in hell it would *not*
increment s. If we return non-NULL, we know that c was equal to del *and*
c is equal to previous_value_of_s[0], i.e. s[-1]. IOW, return value points
to the byte following the first instance of delimeter starting at the argument.
And p[-1] = '\0' replaces delimiter with NUL. IOW, the checks used to be
correct. And got buggered.

Thanks, I've successfully applied and built the patch and update-binfmts
works again.

I had to revert Al Viro's "Undo some of the "prettifying" braindamage."
patch above to apply the execveat() commit below that is now in Linus'
git head:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/51f39a1f0cea1cacf8c787f652f26dfee9611874
After that, trying to apply Al Viro's patch resulted in on failed hunk
and code that wouldn't build.
binfmt_misc.c building but not working doesn't break things for me, but
it would be good to get fixed.
Regards,
Arthur.

the checks are not correct. magic & mask are binary fields hence checking for a
NUL byte to indicate string parsing failed makes no sense. your patch restores
the bug i attempted to fix -- if i wanted to ignore the first byte of the file
by setting the mask or magic to 0, then binfmt_misc will wrongly reject it.
the current code does reject some bad inputs -- namely, when the magic or mask
is not specified. i was counting on the scanarg not incrementing the pointer in
that case, but as you pointed out, that doesn't work since the func always
increments the pointer. i'll see if i can handle both cases.

commit 7d65cf10e3d7747033b83fa18c5f3d2a498f66bc has merged at this point, but
the attribution to e6084d4 is wrong. of course coding style changes &
functional changes shouldn't be done which is why i didn't do it. the change
you're referring to above has nothing to do e6084d4 as it was added before that
in 6b899c4e9a049dfca759d990bd53b14f81c3626c (where i added extended debug
output). arguably those few non-debug related lines shouldn't be in that
commit, but it's a long cry from style changes.
