SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/3] uprobes: Change valid_vma() to demand VM_MAYEXEC rather than VM_EXEC
* Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> [2012-09-16 19:52:46]:

> uprobe_register() or uprobe_mmap() requires VM_READ | VM_EXEC, this
> is not right. An apllication can do mprotect(PROT_EXEC) later and
> execute this code.
>
> Change valid_vma(is_register => true) to check VM_MAYEXEC instead.
> No need to check VM_MAYREAD, it is always set.
