ARM: 5883/1: Revert "disable NX support for OABI-supporting kernels"

2010-01-18T14:12:11Z

This reverts commit 14f0aa359365e8a93a77b71e3b840274b9b4dcb1. That commit was needed earlier because system call restarting for OABI (compat) required an executable stack and thus had problems with NX. Since ab72b00734ae4d0b ("ARM: Fix signal restart issues with NX and OABI compat") has reworked the code to not require an executable stack anymore, we can re-enable NX support for kernels with OABI (compat) support.

[ARM] disable NX support for OABI-supporting kernels

2009-05-23T10:36:20Z

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. Signed-off-by: Russell King

[ARM] 5404/1: Fix condition in arm_elf_read_implies_exec() to set READ_IMPLIES_EXEC

2009-02-19T14:45:27Z

READ_IMPLIES_EXEC must be set when: o binary _is_ an executable stack (i.e. not EXSTACK_DISABLE_X) o processor architecture is _under_ ARMv6 (XN bit is supported from ARMv6) Signed-off-by: Makito SHIOKAWA Signed-off-by: Russell King

[ARM] fix VFP+softfloat binaries

2008-11-04T15:02:09Z

2.6.28-rc tightened up the ELF architecture checks on ARM. For non-EABI it only allows VFP if the hardware supports it. However, the kernel fails to also inspect the soft-float flag, so it incorrectly rejects binaries using soft-VFP. The fix is simple: also check that EF_ARM_SOFT_FLOAT isn't set before rejecting VFP binaries on non-VFP hardware. Acked-by: Mikael Pettersson Signed-off-by: Russell King

[ARM] Improve non-executable support

2008-10-01T15:41:10Z

Add support for detecting non-executable stack binaries, and adjust permissions to prevent execution from data and stack areas. Also, ensure that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is enabled for older CPUs where that is true, and for any executable-stack binary. Signed-off-by: Russell King
