Subject: selftests/proc: make proc-maps-race work with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC
Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2026 22:03:12 +0200

test_maps_tearing_from_split times out when READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is set. 
This happens by default on pre-ARMv6 CPUs, which lack no-execute support.

split_vma() re-maps the first page with mod_info->prot | PROT_EXEC to make
it differ from its neighbours.  With READ_IMPLIES_EXEC the original
mapping is already executable, so no split occurs and the test hangs
waiting for the modifier child.

Use PROT_NONE for the split mapping, which always differs from its
readable neighbours.
