The archs which override the default can use ARCH_HAS_VM_ALLOC_EXEC. Please note that the respective free is important as well and its not clear if we need an another define for the free. Someone has to do that work. We want to ensure to noexec the code on free and this can vary on each arch. > work just as well?

Agreed, but this is just sloppy, better to use a new kconfig symbol to represent what is actually being required. Luis
