No so quick. :) We still need to find out a way to handle things that ask for an mprotect() which is incompatible with shadow stacks. PROT_READ without PROT_WRITE comes to mind. We also need to be careful that we don't copy-on-write/copy-on-access pages which fault on PROT_NONE. I *think* it'll get done correctly but we have to be sure. BTW, where are all the selftests for this code? We're slowly building up a list of pathological things that need to get tested. I don't think this can or should get merged before we have selftests. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
