I tried this (adding initialization of the flag variable) and the
problem is triggered with (at least) these values:
kwritable uwritable kentries uentries
1 0 1 0
1 0 1 1
0 1 0 1
1 0 1 2
The 1/0/1/1 case appears most frequently. Why executable pages are ever
mapped writable in user-space, I don't know. It's useful for
generated/self-modifying code obviously, but I would not expect any of
the standard tools or libraries to rely on that.
