Instead of loading a binary blob into a temporary file with
shmem_kernel_file_setup load a binary blob into a temporary tmpfs
filesystem. This means that the blob can be stored in an init section
and discared, and it means the binary blob will have a filename so can
be executed normally.
The only tricky thing about this code is that in the helper function
blob_to_mnt __fput_sync is used. That is because a file can not be
executed if it is still open for write, and the ordinary delayed close
for kernel threads does not happen soon enough, which causes the
following exec to fail. The function umd_load_blob is not called with
any locks so this should be safe.
Executing the blob normally winds up correcting several problems with
the user mode driver code discovered by Tetsuo Handa[1]. By passing
an ordinary filename into the exec, it is no longer necessary to
figure out how to turn a O_RDWR file descriptor into a properly
referende counted O_EXEC file descriptor that forbids all writes. For
path based LSMs there are no new special cases.
