[PATCH] arm64: Preventing READ_IMPLIES_EXEC propagation

From: dongbo (E)
Date: Tue Apr 25 2017 - 02:11:54 EST


From: Dong Bo <dongbo4@xxxxxxxxxx>

Once the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC flag is set on arm64, the flag is
propagated to its child processes, even the ELF files are
marked as not requiring executable stack.
