This patch allows binfmt_misc to select the interpeter for arbitrary
binaries by comparing a specified registered keyword with the value
of a specified binary's extended attribute (user.binfmt.interp),
and then launching the program with the registered interpreter.
This is useful when wanting to launch a collection of binaries under
the same interpreter, even when they do not necessarily share a
common extension or magic bits, or when their magic conflics with the
operation of binfmt_elf. Some examples of its use would be to launch
some executables of various different architectures in a directory,
or for running some native binaries under a sandbox (like firejail)
automatically during their launch.
Could you expand on the use cases?
