    mm/memfd: add write seals when apply SEAL_EXEC to executable memfd · c4f75bc8
    Jeff Xu authored
    In order to avoid WX mappings, add F_SEAL_WRITE when apply F_SEAL_EXEC to
    an executable memfd, so W^X from start.
    
    This implys application need to fill the content of the memfd first, after
    F_SEAL_EXEC is applied, application can no longer modify the content of
    the memfd.
    
    Typically, application seals the memfd right after writing to it.
    For example:
    1. memfd_create(MFD_EXEC).
    2. write() code to the memfd.
    3. fcntl(F_ADD_SEALS, F_SEAL_EXEC) to convert the memfd to W^X.
    4. call exec() on the memfd.
