From: Matthieu CASTET Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 20:11:45 +0000 (+0100) Subject: x86, nx: Don't force pages RW when setting NX bits X-Git-Tag: Ubuntu-5.2.0-15.16~22087^2~2 X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f12d3d04e8f6223276abb068c5d72852174b8c31;p=mirror_ubuntu-eoan-kernel.git x86, nx: Don't force pages RW when setting NX bits Xen want page table pages read only. But the initial page table (from head_*.S) live in .data or .bss. That was broken by 64edc8ed5ffae999d8d413ba006850e9e34166cb. There is absolutely no reason to force these pages RW after they have already been marked RO. Signed-off-by: Matthieu CASTET Tested-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Signed-off-by: H.
