Currently it is necessary for the usermode helper code and the code that launches init to use set_fs so that pages coming from the kernel look like they are coming from userspace. To allow that usage of set_fs to be removed cleanly the argument copying from userspace needs to happen earlier. Move the allocation and initialization of bprm->mm into alloc_bprm so that the bprm->mm is available early to store the new user stack into. This is a prerequisite for copying argv and envp into the new user stack early before ther rest of exec. To keep the things consistent the cleanup of bprm->mm is moved into free_bprm. So that bprm->mm will be cleaned up whenever bprm->mm is allocated and free_bprm are called. Moving bprm_mm_init earlier is safe as it does not depend on any files, current->in_execve, current->fs->in_exec, bprm->unsafe, or the if the file table is shared. (AKA bprm_mm_init does not depend on any of the code that happens between alloc_bprm and where it was previously called.) This moves bprm->mm cleanup after current->fs->in_exec is set to 0. This is safe because current->fs->in_exec is only used to preventy taking an additional reference on the fs_struct. This moves bprm->mm cleanup after current->in_execve is set to 0. This is safe because current->in_execve is only used by the lsms (apparmor and tomoyou) and always for LSM specific functions, never for anything to do with the mm. This adds bprm->mm cleanup into the successful return path. This is safe because being on the successful return path implies that begin_new_exec succeeded and set brpm->mm to NULL. As bprm->mm is NULL bprm cleanup I am moving into free_bprm will do nothing.

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.
