From 14f0aa359365e8a93a77b71e3b840274b9b4dcb1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Sat, 23 May 2009 11:36:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [ARM] disable NX support for OABI-supporting kernels Our signal syscall restart handling for these kernels still uses the userspace stack to build code for restarting the syscall. Unfortunately, fixing this is non-trivial, and so for the time being, we resolve the problem by disabling NX support.
