Since TOMOYO considers that any file (even standard input which is connected
to keyboard) can provide data which can be interpreted as executable, TOMOYO
does not check traditional "execute permission". TOMOYO's execute permission
serves as a gate for replacing current process with a new file using execve()
syscall. All other calls (e.g. uselib(), open()) are simply treated as
opening a file for read/write/append etc. Therefore,

regarding TOMOYO, I don't think that TOMOYO needs to perform file execute
checking if !current->in_execve , even if O_MAYEXEC is introduced.
