[PATCH 0/4] aarch64: avoid mprotect(PROT_BTI|PROT_EXEC) [BZ #26831]

Re-mmap executable segments instead of mprotecting them in
case mprotect is seccomp filtered.

For the kernel mapped main executable we don't have the fd
for re-mmap so linux needs to be updated to add BTI. (In the
presence of seccomp filters for mprotect(PROT_EXEC) the libc
cannot change BTI protection at runtime based on user space
policy so it is better if the kernel maps BTI compatible
binaries with PROT_BTI by default.)

Szabolcs Nagy (4):
  elf: Pass the fd to note processing [BZ #26831]
  elf: Move note processing after l_phdr is updated [BZ #26831]
  aarch64: Use mmap to add PROT_BTI instead of mprotect [BZ #26831]
  aarch64: Remove the bti link_map field [BZ #26831]
