The kernel has no way of differentiating between a file containing data
or code being opened by an interpreter.  The proposed O_MAYEXEC
openat2(2) flag bridges this gap by defining and enabling the
MAY_OPENEXEC flag.

This patch adds IMA policy support for the new MAY_OPENEXEC flag.

Example:
measure func=FILE_CHECK mask=^MAY_OPENEXEC
appraise func=FILE_CHECK appraise_type=imasig mask=^MAY_OPENEXEC

I'm not a co-author of this patch.
from Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:

OK, I though such tag had to go along with the From/Author, the
Committer or a Co-developed-by tag, but there is also this specific
case. I'll fix that in the next series.
