OK, thanks.

I moved this patch
(mm-mprotectc-dont-imply-prot_exec-on-non-exec-fs.patch) into the
"post-linux-next" section and reworked it to accommodate the -tip
changes.



From: Piotr Kwapulinski <kwapulinski.piotr@...il.com>
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.
