Patch series "MDWE without inheritance", v4.
Joey recently introduced a Memory-Deny-Write-Executable (MDWE) prctl which
tags current with a flag that prevents pages that were previously not
executable from becoming executable. This tag always gets inherited by
children tasks. (it's in MMF_INIT_MASK)
At Google, we've been using a somewhat similar downstream patch for a few
years now. To make the adoption of this feature easier, we've had it
support a mode in which the W^X flag does not propagate to children. For
example, this is handy if a C process which wants W^X protection suspects
it could start children processes that would use a JIT.
I'd like to align our features with the upstream prctl. This series
proposes a new NO_INHERIT flag to the MDWE prctl to make this kind of
adoption easier. It sets a different flag in current that is not in
MMF_INIT_MASK and which does not propagate.
As part of looking into MDWE, I also fixed a couple of things in the MDWE
test.
The background for this was discussed in these threads:
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/66900d0ad42797a55259061f757beece@xxxxxxxxx/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/d7e3749c-a718-df94-92af-1cb0fecab772@xxxxxxxxxx/
This patch (of 6):
Fix tabs/spaces inconsistency in the mdwe test.
