I don't feel experienced enough in security to tell whether we want this
functionality or not. But if we do this, shouldn't we also set FMODE_EXEC
on the resulting struct file? That way also security_file_open() can be
used to arbitrate such executable opens and in particular
fanotify permission event FAN_OPEN_EXEC will get properly generated which I
guess is desirable (support for it is sitting in my tree waiting for the
merge window) - adding some audit people involved in FAN_OPEN_EXEC to
CC. Just an idea...
