Summary

This makes text segment relocation work under W^X.


I have encountered this when loading lucet-compiled shared objects with W^X (D24933).

maybe clearer if we incorporate the PROT_WRITE part from above?

something like

prot = convert_prot(ph->p_flags);
if (before)
        prot = prot & ~PROT_EXEC | PROT_WRITE;
libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c
2986–2987

There is no much reason to use convert_prot() in'before' case at all, then. Only PF_R survives. It can be

prot = before ? (PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE) : convert_prot(ph->p_flags);
