Module Name:    src
Committed By:   martin
Date:           Fri Mar 24 08:18:27 UTC 2017

Modified Files:
        src/tests/lib/libc/sys: t_mprotect.c

Log Message:
Do not toggle global security.pax.mprotect state in an attempt to
activate it for the current process. It does not work and tests should
not change global system state anyway.
Instead: skip the test is pax.mprotect is not globally enabled. We could
use a better check for this (querying the current processes pax flags),
but unfortunately we don't have one.
