The patch titled Subject: fs/binfmt_elf.c: extract PROT_* calculations has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was elf-extract-prot_-calculations.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/binfmt_elf.c: extract PROT_* calculations There are two places where mapping protections are calculated: one for executable, another one for interpreter -- take them out. ELF read and execute permissions are interchanged with Linux PROT_READ and PROT_EXEC, microoptimizations are welcome!
