[PATCH v5 6/6] arm64, elf: Disable automatic READ_IMPLIES_EXEC for 64-bit address spaces

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With arm64 64-bit environments, there should never be a need for automatic
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC, as the architecture has always been execute-bit aware
(as in, the default memory protection should be NX unless a region
explicitly requests to be executable).
