Subject: [PATCH] NX protection for kernel data : fix xen boot
Date: Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:01:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D473F5F.1020308@free.fr> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 141 bytes --]

I think it should be applied before 2.6.38 release, because without
this patch S3 suspend doesn't work on x86_32 with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.

Subject: [PATCH] NX protection for kernel data : fix 32 bits wakeup

32 bits wakeup realmode trampoline enable paging, while still
in low memory.

We should make this memory !NX in order it works.
