[PATCH] selinux: fix and cleanup mprotect checks
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fix the SELinux mprotect checks on executable mappings so that they are not
re-applied when the mapping is already executable as well as cleaning up
the code.  This avoids a situation where e.g.  an application is prevented
from removing PROT_WRITE on an already executable mapping previously
authorized via execmem permission due to an execmod denial.
