David Hildenbrand 8fa207525f perf: MAP_EXECUTABLE does not indicate VM_MAYEXEC
Patch series "perf/binfmt/mm: remove in-tree usage of MAP_EXECUTABLE".

Stumbling over the history of MAP_EXECUTABLE, I noticed that we still have
some in-tree users that we can get rid of.

This patch (of 3):

Before commit e9714acf8c ("mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and
mm->num_exe_file_vmas"), VM_EXECUTABLE indicated MAP_EXECUTABLE.
MAP_EXECUTABLE is nowadays essentially ignored by the kernel and does not
relate to VM_MAYEXEC.

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.
