After commit 978ffcbf00d8 ("execve: open the executable file before doing anything else"), current->in_execve was no longer in sync with the open(). This broke AppArmor and TOMOYO which depend on this flag to distinguish "open" operations from being "exec" operations. Instead of moving around in_execve, switch to using __FMODE_EXEC, which is where the "is this an exec?" intent is stored. Note that TOMOYO still uses in_execve around cred handling.

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.
