    fix setuid sometimes wouldn't · 7c2c7d99

    check_unsafe_exec() also notes whether the fs_struct is being
    shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so
    sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid.
    But /proc/<pid>/cwd and /proc/<pid>/root lookups make transient
    use of get_fs_struct(), which also raises that sharing count.
    
    This might occasionally cause a setuid program not to change euid,
    in the same way as happened with files->count (check_unsafe_exec
    also looks at sighand->count, but /proc doesn't raise that one).
    
    We'd prefer exec not to unshare fs_struct: so fix this in procfs,
    replacing get_fs_struct() by get_fs_path(), which does path_get
    while still holding task_lock, instead of raising fs->count.
