[PATCH v2] mm/mprotect.c: don't imply PROT_EXEC on non-exec fs

[PATCH v2] mm/mprotect.c: don't imply PROT_EXEC on non-exec fs

[Piotr Kwapulinski]

The mprotect(PROT_READ) fails when called by the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC binary
on a memory mapped file located on non-exec fs. The mprotect does not
check whether fs is _executable_ or not. The PROT_EXEC flag is set
automatically even if a memory mapped file is located on non-exec fs.
Fix it by checking whether a memory mapped file is located on a non-exec
fs. If so the PROT_EXEC is not implied by the PROT_READ.
The implementation uses the VM_MAYEXEC flag set properly in mmap.
Now it is consistent with mmap.

I did the isolated tests (PT_GNU_STACK X/NX, multiple VMAs, X/NX fs).
I also patched the official 3.19.0-47-generic Ubuntu 14.04 kernel
and it seems to work.

The difference between v1 is that the prot variable is reset to
 reqprot for each loop iteration (thanks to Konstantin Khlebnikov for
pointing this out).
rier means "(current->personality & [R]EAD_[I]MPLIES_[E]XEC) &&
(prot & PROT_[R]EAD)".

sys_mprotect() just took a mangling in linux-next due to

    mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Add execute-only protection keys support


Here is my rework of your "mm/mprotect.c: don't imply PROT_EXEC on
non-exec fs" to handle this.  Please check very carefully.

Subject: mm/mprotect.c: don't imply PROT_EXEC on non-exec fs

The mprotect(PROT_READ) fails when called by the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC binary
on a memory mapped file located on non-exec fs.  The mprotect does not
check whether fs is _executable_ or not.  The PROT_EXEC flag is set
automatically even if a memory mapped file is located on non-exec fs.  Fix
it by checking whether a memory mapped file is located on a non-exec fs. 
If so the PROT_EXEC is not implied by the PROT_READ.  The implementation
uses the VM_MAYEXEC flag set properly in mmap.  Now it is consistent with
mmap.

I did the isolated tests (PT_GNU_STACK X/NX, multiple VMAs, X/NX fs).  I
also patched the official 3.19.0-47-generic Ubuntu 14.04 kernel and it
seems to work.

It looks good. I also did some tests (non-MPK CPU) - passed.
