    [PATCH] x86_64: Bring x86-64 ia32 emul in sync with i386 on READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabling · 3391c22e
    Markus Schoder 提交于
    Currently ia32 binaries behave differently with respect to enabling
    READ_IMPLIES_EXEC.  On i386 a binary with the exec_stack flag set is
    executed with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabled as well.  The same binary
    executes without READ_IMPLIES_EXEC on x86-64.
    
    This causes binaries that work on i386 to fail on x86-64 which goes
    somewhat against the whole 32 bit emulation idea.
    
    It has been argued that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC should not be enabled at all
    for binaries that have the exec_stack flag.  Which is probably a valid
    point.  However until this is clarified I think x86-64 should behave the
    same for ia32 binaries as i386.
    
    The following patch brings x86-64 in sync with i386 for ia32 binaries.
