[PATCH] arm64: don't set READ_IMPLIES_EXEC for EM_AARCH64

From: Kyle McMartin
Date: Wed May 14 2014 - 14:57:53 EST


current->personality & READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is currently being set for
AArch64 binaries, resulting in an executable stack, when no explicit
PT_GNU_STACK header is present.

[kmcmarti@sedition ~]$ uname -p
aarch64
[kmcmarti@sedition ~]$ cat /proc/$$/personality
00400000

The reason for this is, without an explicit PT_GNU_STACK entry in the
binary, stk is still set to EXSTACK_DEFAULT (which should be
non-executable on AArch64.) As a result, elf_read_implies_exec is true,
and we set READ_IMPLIES_EXEC in binfmt_elf.c:load_elf_binary.

Fix this to return 0 in the native case, and parrot the logic from
arch/arm/kernel/elf.c otherwise. With this patch, binaries correctly
don't have READ_IMPLIES_EXEC set, and we can let PT_GNU_STACK change
things if it's explicitly requested.
