[PATCH 3.2-stable 2/2] kaiser: Set _PAGE_NX only if supported

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Lepton Wu <ytht.net@xxxxxxxxx>

This finally resolve crash if loaded under qemu + haxm. Haitao Shan pointed
out that the reason of that crash is that NX bit get set for page tables.
It seems we missed checking if _PAGE_NX is supported in kaiser_add_user_map
