This patch allows LSM modules to determine whether current process is in an execve operation or not so that they can behave differently while an execve operation is in progress. This allows TOMOYO to dispense with a readability check on a file to be executed under the process's current credentials, and to do it instead under the proposed credentials. This is required with the new COW credentials because TOMOYO is no longer allowed to mark the state temporarily in the security struct attached to the task_struct.
