From c45601306aa5831c3e59158f95b8e34f27e9ea09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Weinberger Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2025 14:29:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] um: Don't mark stack executable On one of my machines UML failed to start after enabling SELinux. UML failed to start because SELinux's execmod rule denies executable pages on a modified file mapping. Historically UML marks it's stack rwx. AFAICT, these days this is no longer needed, so let's remove PROT_EXEC.
