[PATCH 4/4] arm64: bpf: do not allocate executable memory

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Thu May 23 2019 - 06:27:29 EST


The BPF code now takes care of mapping the code pages executable
after mapping them read-only, to ensure that no RWX mapped regions
are needed, even transiently. This means we can drop the executable
permissions from the mapping at allocation time.
