I've tested AppArmor, and this works fine:

diff --git a/security/apparmor/lsm.c b/security/apparmor/lsm.c
index 7717354ce095..ab104ce05f96 100644
--- a/security/apparmor/lsm.c
+++ b/security/apparmor/lsm.c
@@ -470,7 +470,7 @@ static int apparmor_file_open(struct file *file)
 	 * implicit read and executable mmap which are required to
 	 * actually execute the image.
 	 */
-	if (current->in_execve) {
+	if (file->f_flags & __FMODE_EXEC) {
 		fctx->allow = MAY_EXEC | MAY_READ | AA_EXEC_MMAP;
 		return 0;
 	}

Converting TOMOYO is less obvious to me, though, as it has a helper that
isn't strictly always called during open(). I haven't finished figuring
out the call graphs for it...
