[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.0 02/77] libbpf: Do not require executable permission for shared libraries

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

 



From: Hengqi Chen <hengqi.chen@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9e32084ef1c33a87a736d6ce3fcb95b60dac9aa1 ]

Currently, resolve_full_path() requires executable permission for both
programs and shared libraries. This causes failures on distos like Debian
since the shared libraries are not installed executable and Linux is not
requiring shared libraries to have executable permissions. Let's remove
executable permission check for shared libraries.
