Is this going to break any application ? I am asking because you
mentioned the patch is lightly tested. x86 do have a
#define VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS \
(((current->personality & READ_IMPLIES_EXEC) ? VM_EXEC : 0 ) | \
VM_READ | VM_WRITE | VM_MAYREAD | VM_MAYWRITE | VM_MAYEXEC)
ie, it can force a read implies exec mode. Do we need that ?
