From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Kumba Date: Sat, 03 Jul 2004 18:07:20 +0000 Subject: pte_exprotect Message-Id: <40E6F5D8.5020902@gentoo.org> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: sparclinux@vger.kernel.org Attempting to build a recent 2.6.6/2.6.7 sparc64 kernel w. the PaX patch, and I get a compile error due to an undefined reference to pte_exprotect. Doing some digging, this function seems to have gotten pulled out of sparc code a way long time ago, around kernel 1.3.4. It also vanished from mips code about a year or so later (Around 2.0.x or just shortly before). I can't find any reasoning in the one patch that removed the function that explained its removal, and considering most other archs still seem to have it, I'm curious as to why it was pulled. Ideas? --Kumba -- "Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." --Elrond
