mprotect(EXEC) was failing for stack mappings as default vm flags was missing MAYEXEC. This was triggered by glibc test suite nptl/tst-execstack testcase What is surprising is that despite running LTP for years on, we didn't catch this issue as it lacks a directed test case. gcc dejagnu tests with nested functions also requiring exec stack work fine though because they rely on the GNU_STACK segment spit out by compiler and handled in kernel elf loader. This glibc case is different as the stack is non exec to begin with and a dlopen of shared lib with GNU_STACK segment triggers the exec stack proceedings using a mprotect(PROT_EXEC) which was broken.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
