yea.. looks like my arch implies PROT_EXEC via PROT_READ, man mmap:

  On some hardware architectures (e.g., i386), PROT_WRITE implies PROT_READ.   
It  is  architecture  dependent  whether  PROT_READ
  implies PROT_EXEC or not.  Portable programs should always set PROT_EXEC if 
they intend to execute code in the new mapping.


mm/mmap.c:

        /*
         * Does the application expect PROT_READ to imply PROT_EXEC?
         *
         * (the exception is when the underlying filesystem is noexec
         *  mounted, in which case we dont add PROT_EXEC.)
         */
        if ((prot & PROT_READ) && (current->personality & READ_IMPLIES_EXEC))
                if (!(file && (file->f_path.mnt->mnt_flags & MNT_NOEXEC)))
                        prot |= PROT_EXEC;


I'll set the PROT_EXEC as the man page says.


thanks,
