ARM: prctl: reject PR_SET_MDWE on pre-ARMv6
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On v5 and lower CPUs we can't provide MDWE protection, so ensure we fail
any attempt to enable it via prctl(PR_SET_MDWE).

Previously such an attempt would misleadingly succeed, leading to any
subsequent mmap(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) or execve() failing unconditionally
(the latter somewhat violently via force_fatal_sig(SIGSEGV) due to
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC).
