It is almost possible to use the result of prepare_exec_creds with no modifications during exec. Update prepare_exec_creds to initialize the suid and the fsuid to the euid, and the sgid and the fsgid to the egid. This is all that is needed to handle the common case of exec when nothing special like a setuid exec is happening. That this preserves the existing behavior of exec can be verified by examing bprm_fill_uid and cap_bprm_set_creds. This change makes it clear that the later parts of exec that update bprm->cred are just need to handle special cases such as setuid exec and change of domains.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
