The test was previously using an mprotect on the heap memory allocated
using malloc and was expecting the allocation to be always using
sbrk(2). This is, however, not always true and in certain conditions
malloc may end up using anonymous mmaps for heap alloctions. This means
that the following condition that is used in the "lsm/file_mprotect"
program is not sufficent to detect all mprotect calls done on heap
memory:
is_heap = (vma->vm_start >= vma->vm_mm->start_brk &&
vma->vm_end <= vma->vm_mm->brk);
The test is updated to use an mprotect on memory allocated on the stack.
While this would result in the splitting of the vma, this happens only
after the security_file_mprotect hook. So, the condition used in the BPF
program holds true.

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.
