binfmt_misc: fix false -ENOEXEC when coupled with other binary handlers
commit ff9bc512f198eb47204f55b24c6fe3d36ed89592 upstream
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:09:10 -0700
Subject: binfmt_misc: fix false -ENOEXEC when coupled with other binary handlers
In case the binfmt_misc binary handler is registered *before* the e.g.
script one (when for example being compiled as a module) the following
situation may occur:
1. user launches a script, whose interpreter is a misc binary;
2. the load_misc_binary sets the misc_bang and returns -ENOEVEC,
since the binary is a script;
3. the load_script_binary loads one and calls for search_binary_hander
to run the interpreter;
4. the load_misc_binary is called again, but refuses to load the
binary due to misc_bang bit set.
The fix is to move the misc_bang setting lower - prior to the actual
call to the search_binary_handler.
Caused by the commit 3a2e7f47 (binfmt_misc.c: avoid potential kernel
stack overflow)
