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. Factor bprm_execve out of do_execve_common to separate out the copying of arguments to the newe stack, and the rest of exec. In separating bprm_execve from do_execve_common the copying of the arguments onto the new stack happens earlier. As the copying of the arguments does not depend any security hooks, files, the file table, current->in_execve, current->fs->in_exec, bprm->unsafe, or creds this is safe. Likewise the security hook security_creds_for_exec does not depend upon preventing the argument copying from happening. In addition to making it possible to implement kernel_execve that performs the copying differently, this separation of bprm_execve from do_execve_common makes for a nice separation of responsibilities making the exec code easier to navigate.

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.
