Not fond of using CAP_MAC_ADMIN here (or elsewhere outside of security
modules). The ability to set this sysctl is not equivalent to being
able to load a MAC policy, set arbitrary MAC labels on
processes/files, etc.

I'm wondering if this is being done at the wrong level. I would think
that OMAYEXEC_ENFORCE_FILE would mean to check file execute permission
with respect to all mechanisms/policies, including DAC,
filesystem-specific checking (inode->i_op->permission), security
modules, etc. That requires more than just calling
generic_permission() with MAY_EXEC, which only covers the default
DAC/ACL logic; you'd need to take the handling up a level to
inode_permission() and re-map MAY_OPENEXEC to MAY_EXEC for
do_inode_permission() and security_inode_permission() at least.
Alternatively, we can modify each individual filesystem (that
implements its own i_op->permission) and security module to start
handling MAY_OPENEXEC and have them choose to remap it to a file
execute check (or not) independent of the sysctl. Not sure of your
intent. As it stands, selinux_inode_permission() will ignore the new
MAY_OPENEXEC flag until someone updates it. Likewise for Smack.
AppArmor/TOMOYO would probably need to check and handle FMODE_EXEC in
their file_open hooks since they don't implement inode_permission().
