    ARC: mm: allow mprotect to make stack mappings executable · 93312b6d
    Vineet Gupta 提交于
    mprotect(EXEC) was failing for stack mappings as default vm flags was
    missing MAYEXEC.
    
    This was triggered by glibc test suite nptl/tst-execstack testcase
    
    What is surprising is that despite running LTP for years on, we didn't
    catch this issue as it lacks a directed test case.
    
    gcc dejagnu tests with nested functions also requiring exec stack work
    fine though because they rely on the GNU_STACK segment spit out by
    compiler and handled in kernel elf loader.
    
    This glibc case is different as the stack is non exec to begin with and
    a dlopen of shared lib with GNU_STACK segment triggers the exec stack
    proceedings using a mprotect(PROT_EXEC) which was broken.
