[PATCH 3.2 137/152] Revert "x86, 64bit, mm: Mark data/bss/brk to nx"

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

 



3.2.67-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This reverts commit e105c8187b7101e8a8a54ac0218c9d9c9463c636 which
was commit 72212675d1c96f5db8ec6fb35701879911193158 upstream.

This caused suspend/resume to stop working on at least some systems -
specifically, the system would reboot when woken.
