Files can be mmap'ed read/write and later changed to execute to circumvent IMA's mmap appraise policy rules. Due to locking issues (mmap semaphore would be taken prior to i_mutex), files can not be measured or appraised at this point. Eliminate this integrity gap, by denying the mprotect PROT_EXECUTE change, if an mmap appraise policy rule exists. On mprotect change success, return 0. On failure, return -EACESS.

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.
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.
