[RFC PATCH v1 3/5] Yama: Enforces noexec mounts or file executability through O_MAYEXEC

[MickaÃl SalaÃn]

Enable to either propagate the mount options from the underlying VFS
mount to prevent execution, or to propagate the file execute permission.
This may allow a script interpreter to check execution permissions
before reading commands from a file.

The main goal is to be able to protect the kernel by restricting
arbitrary syscalls that an attacker could perform with a crafted binary
or certain script languages.  It also improves multilevel isolation
by reducing the ability of an attacker to use side channels with
specific code.  These restrictions can natively be enforced for ELF
binaries (with the noexec mount option) but require this kernel
extension to properly handle scripts (e.g., Python, Perl).

Add a new sysctl kernel.yama.open_mayexec_enforce to control this
behavior.  A following patch adds documentation.
