From 793838138c157d4c49f4fb744b170747e3dabf58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helge Deller Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2023 19:33:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] prctl: Disable prctl(PR_SET_MDWE) on parisc systemd-254 tries to use prctl(PR_SET_MDWE) for it's MemoryDenyWriteExecute functionality, but fails on parisc which still needs executable stacks in certain combinations of gcc/glibc/kernel. Disable prctl(PR_SET_MDWE) by returning -EINVAL for now on parisc, until userspace has catched up.
