Most of the support for passing the file descriptor of an executable to an interpreter already lives in the generic code and in binfmt_elf. Rework the fields in binfmt_elf that deal with executable file descriptor passing to make executable file descriptor passing a first class concept. Move the fd_install from binfmt_misc into begin_new_exec after the new creds have been installed. This means that accessing the file through /proc/<pid>/fd/N is able to see the creds for the new executable before allowing access to the new executables files. Performing the install of the executables file descriptor after the point of no return also means that nothing special needs to be done on error. The exiting of the process will close all of it's open files. Move the would_dump from binfmt_misc into begin_new_exec right after would_dump is called on the bprm->file. This makes it obvious this case exists and that no nesting of bprm->file is currently supported. In binfmt_misc the movement of fd_install into generic code means that it's special error exit path is no longer needed.

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.
