preventing executable stack with file_mprotect hook

[Dmitry Mastykin <dmastykin@astralinux.ru>]

Hello all,

I use the file_mprotect hook to prevent executable stack. It's called 
from mprotect syscall and prevents linkage with execstack-flagged 
libraries. But I don't see it called when I execute a simple 
execstack-flagged binary: int main() { char shell[100] = "\xb0\x01" // 
mov al, 1 "\x31\xdb" // xor ebx, ebx "\xcd\x80" ; // int 0x80 
((void(*)())shell)(); return 0; } I'm thinking about a patch like one in 
the end of this message. I would be glad to have a feedback, if someone 
find this reasonable. Thank you! Kind regards Dmitry Mastykin
