For historical reasons, some tools like rpm [1] or ldd [2,3]
may expect the executable bit to be present for the correct
identification of shared libraries. The executable bit on .so
files is set by default by compilers (e.g., GCC). It is not
strictly necessary but primarily a convention.

r555 or higher driver along with the cuda-checkpoint binary.
