Let me go through the problem step by step. + +The issue occurs when using execveat with a file descriptor and an empty filename along with the AT_EMPTY_PATH flag on Debian x86_64 with binfmt_misc configured. The problem arises when trying to run programs of other architectures like arm64, arm, or riscv64, which results in ENOENT errors. However, using /proc/self/fd/%d as the pathname works fine. + +First, I need to understand what execveat does. It's a system call that executes a program from a file descriptor without requiring a path name. The AT_EMPTY_PATH flag allows the filename to be empty if the file descriptor refers to an executable. This is useful for security reasons because it avoids race conditions where the file could be replaced between checking and execution. + +The problem occurs specifically when running programs of other architectures using QEMU's user-mode emulation. When binfmt_misc is enabled, the kernel uses a helper program (like qemu-aarch64) to execute binaries of foreign architectures. If binfmt_misc is disabled, the system returns ENOEXEC because it doesn't know how to handle those binary formats. + +In this case, when using execveat with AT_EMPTY_PATH on a foreign architecture binary via QEMU user-mode emulation, it results in ENOENT. But when using /proc/self/fd/%d as the path and execve, it works. So there's something different between how these two methods interact with the system. + +Now, considering that this happens across various architectures, it seems like a problem with how QEMU is handling these calls in user-mode. User-mode emulation deals with executing binaries by translating their instructions to the host architecture without requiring hypervisor-level support. If the execveat call isn't being correctly translated or handled by QEMU when using AT_EMPTY_PATH, that would cause ENOENT. + +Another angle: The ENOENT error suggests that the system can't find the file. But since the file descriptor is valid and opened earlier (as confirmed by checking the file size), it's more likely a problem with how the execveat call is being emulated. Perhaps QEMU isn't correctly intercepting or translating this specific system call when AT_EMPTY_PATH is used, leading to the error. + +Also, when binfmt_misc is turned off, both methods return ENOEXEC because the kernel doesn't have a way to execute those binaries. But with it enabled, only the execveat method fails for foreign architectures. This points towards an issue in how QEMU's user-mode handles the AT_EMPTY_PATH flag during execveat. + +So putting it all together: The problem is occurring within the user-mode emulation provided by QEMU when handling the execveat system call with AT_EMPTY_PATH on binaries of different architectures. Therefore, this bug should be classified under user-mode issues. +</think> + +user \ No newline at end of file |
