Message-Id: <20080114221702.9598914F83@wotan.suse.de> Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 23:17:02 +0100 (CET) From: Andi Kleen <ak@...e.de> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, jbeulich@...ell.com, mingo@...e.hu, tglx@...utronix.de Subject: [PATCH] [29/31] CPA: Add a BUG_ON checking for someone setting the kernel text NX Someone setting NX on the kernel text tends to result in nasty failures and triple faults, so BUG_ON early for that. Does not cover __inittext.
