Subject: exec: fix stack excutability without PT_GNU_STACK
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@xxxxxxxxxxx>
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11063 points out that on some
architectures (e.g. x86_32) exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program
header should default to an executable stack; but this got broken by the
unlimited argv feature because stack vma is now created before the right
personality has been established: so breaking old binaries using nested
function trampolines.
Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack vm_flags
used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through our existing
VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct: so this seems safer
than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.
