commit 12ef66c411efe5910f0a9a74c92480db7e12eae0
Author: Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com>
Date:   Tue Sep 26 16:30:46 2017 +0000

    Fix ia64 executable stack default (bug 22156).
    
    As per https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-09/msg01220.html ia64
    defaults to non-executable stacks in the Linux kernel (furthermore,
    the use of function descriptors means that trampolines for nested
    function pointers never need an executable stack).  glibc however
    defines DEFAULT_STACK_PERMS to include PF_X for that architecture,
    meaning (a) elf/check-execstack fails and (b) (from code inspection,
    not tested, but this is why I think this is a user-visible bug) thread
    stacks are unnecessarily mapped with execute permission.  This patch
    fixes the DEFAULT_STACK_PERMS definition in question.
    
    Tested (compilation only) with build-many-glibcs.py for ia64.  This
    fixes the check-execstack failure.
    
    	[BZ #22156]
    	* sysdeps/ia64/stackinfo.h (DEFAULT_STACK_PERMS): Likewise.
