Linus Torvalds 49624efa65 Merge tag 'denywrite-for-5.15' of git://github.com/davidhildenbrand/linux
Pull MAP_DENYWRITE removal from David Hildenbrand:
 "Remove all in-tree usage of MAP_DENYWRITE from the kernel and remove
  VM_DENYWRITE.

  There are some (minor) user-visible changes:

   - We no longer deny write access to shared libaries loaded via legacy
     uselib(); this behavior matches modern user space e.g. dlopen().

   - We no longer deny write access to the elf interpreter after exec
     completed, treating it just like shared libraries (which it often
     is).

   - We always deny write access to the file linked via /proc/pid/exe:
     sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE) will fail if write access to the
     file cannot be denied, and write access to the file will remain
     denied until the link is effectivel gone (exec, termination,
     sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE)) -- just as if exec'ing the file.

  Cross-compiled for a bunch of architectures (alpha, microblaze, i386,
  s390x, ...) and verified via ltp that especially the relevant tests
  (i.e., creat07 and execve04) continue working as expected"
