Hi Linus, as discussed ... The following changes since commit 7d2a07b769330c34b4deabeed939325c77a7ec2f: Linux 5.14 (2021-08-29 15:04:50 -0700) are available in the Git repository at: https://github.com/davidhildenbrand/linux.git tags/denywrite-for-5.15 for you to fetch changes up to 592ca09be8333bd226f50100328a905bfc377133: fs: update documentation of get_write_access() and friends (2021-09-03 18:42:02 +0200) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Remove in-tree usage of MAP_DENYWRITE Remove all in-tree usage of MAP_DENYWRITE from the kernel and remove VM_DENYWRITE. There are some (minor) user-visible changes: 1. We no longer deny write access to shared libaries loaded via legacy uselib(); this behavior matches modern user space e.g., via dlopen(). 2. We no longer deny write access to the elf interpreter after exec completed, treating it just like shared libraries (which it often is). 3. We always deny write access to the file linked via /proc/pid/exe: sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE) will fail if write access to the file cannot be denied, and write access to the file will remain denied until the link is effectivel gone (exec, termination, sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE)) -- just as if exec'ing the file. Cross-compiled for a bunch of architectures (alpha, microblaze, i386, s390x, ...) and verified via ltp that especially the relevant tests (i.e., creat07 and execve04) continue working as expected.
