yea.. looks like my arch implies PROT_EXEC via PROT_READ, man mmap:

On some hardware architectures (e.g., i386), PROT_WRITE implies PROT_READ. It is architecture dependent whether PROT_READ
implies PROT_EXEC or not. Portable programs should always set PROT_EXEC if they intend to execute code in the new mapping.


mm/mmap.c:

/*
* Does the application expect PROT_READ to imply PROT_EXEC?
*
* (the exception is when the underlying filesystem is noexec
* mounted, in which case we dont add PROT_EXEC.)
*/
if ((prot & PROT_READ) && (current->personality & READ_IMPLIES_EXEC))
if (!(file && (file->f_path.mnt->mnt_flags & MNT_NOEXEC)))
prot |= PROT_EXEC;


I'll set the PROT_EXEC as the man page says.


thanks,
jirka
