Just take all my patches. ;) Seriously, though, I actually do care about this patchset since way too many people still have crappy hardware or crappier BIOSes that disable NX, so I think this is still important to keep around. So, how about this as the current position: - nx-emu only has value on 32bit when NX is unavailable - ascii-armor only has utility when used with nx-emu If we can agree on this, then Fedora and Ubuntu will be on the same page, and we can share the same entire patchset (including my pending patch). -Kees -- Kees Cook Ubuntu Security Team _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
