This needs a bug in Bugzilla (is it bug 20480?), reference in the ChangeLog entry, and, ideally, a regression test.

I can see that the current code has a problem, but I assume we do things this way because we want to create an RWX mapping, even temporarily. System security policy may prevent the creation of such mappings. We would have have to flip between RW and RWX protection flags around IFUNC handlers to fix that.

Thanks,
Florian

Thank you for referring to 20480! I have replied there.
