Patch series "perf/binfmt/mm: remove in-tree usage of MAP_EXECUTABLE". Stumbling over the history of MAP_EXECUTABLE, I noticed that we still have some in-tree users that we can get rid of. This patch (of 3): Before commite9714acf8c("mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and mm->num_exe_file_vmas"), VM_EXECUTABLE indicated MAP_EXECUTABLE. MAP_EXECUTABLE is nowadays essentially ignored by the kernel and does not relate to VM_MAYEXEC.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
