Subject: [GIT PULL] xen: Check NX state before setting up GDT mapping
Hi Ingo,
This is a little followup fix to the previous Xen stack-protector
patches to deal with the case of a 64-bit processor without NX support
(either old Intel or disabled in BIOS). Before creating the mapping for
the GDT we need to make sure that NX is actually supported or the
processor will fault on us.
This ends up making mm/init.o non-stack-protected. Given that this file
has some fairly complex functions with local arrays, I've made an
additional change to move the NX setup into its own file to limit the
non-stack-protected code. I added it as a later delta so that the pure
bugfix can be applied to stable, and the cleanup can go on top into
mainline.
Thanks,
J
