From the bug report [1], multiple programs still require to dlopen shared libraries with either missing PT_GNU_STACK or with the executable bit set. Although, in some cases, it seems to be a hard-craft assembly source without the required .note.GNU-stack marking (so the static linker is forced to set the stack executable if the ABI requires it), other cases seem that the library uses trampolines [2]. Unfortunately, READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is not an option since on some ABIs (x86_64), the kernel clears the bit, making it unsupported. To avoid reinstating the broken code that changes stack permission on dlopen (0ca8785a28), this patch extends the glibc.rtld.execstack tunable to allow an option to force an executable stack at the program startup. The tunable is a security issue because it defeats the PT_GNU_STACK hardening. It has the slight advantage of making it explicit by the caller, and, as for other tunables, this is disabled for setuid binaries. A tunable also allows us to eventually remove it, but from previous experiences, it would require some time. Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, and i686-linux-gnu.
