Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm/memfd: add MFD_NOEXEC flag to memfd_create
Date:   Fri,  1 Apr 2022 15:08:32 -0700
Message-Id: <20220401220834.307660-3-dverkamp@chromium.org>
In-Reply-To: <20220401220834.307660-1-dverkamp@chromium.org>

The new MFD_NOEXEC flag allows the creation of a permanently
non-executable memfd. This is accomplished by creating it with a
different set of file mode bits (0666) than the default (0777) and
applying the F_SEAL_EXEC seal at creation time, so there is no window
between memfd creation and seal application.

Unfortunately, the default for memfd must remain executable, since
changing this would be an API break, and some programs depend on being
able to exec code from a memfd directly. However, this new flag will
allow programs to create non-executable memfds, and a distribution may
choose to enforce use of this flag in memfd_create calls via other
security mechanisms.
