Expected results:
no AVC.


Additional info:
No AVC if php-opcache is not installed.

The execmem permission for httpd_t domain will not be allowed by default, because it's dangerous from SELinux point-of-view:

If your use-case really needs such a permission, you have to enable the httpd_execmem boolean:

# setsebool -P httpd_execmem on

Need to test with opcache.huge_code_pages=0

--- Additional comment from Remi Collet on 2019-06-28 13:41:32 BST ---

2 possible fix:

1/ runtime

- change default provided configuration to opcache.huge_code_pages=0

(whichh may allow user to enable it....)

2/ buldtime

- add --disable-huge-code-pages build option
- clean configuration file

In both case, a configuration change is needed
