Nah, the change to break 32bit userland mmap/mprotect like this was only put in after 2.6.10. 64bit userland on the other hand always honored PROT_EXEC, but before PT_GNU_STACK it would run by default with executable stack. Hmm, I admit that my patch will break this case too, but fixing that (setting READ_IMPLIES_EXEC only for 32bit) would require more complicated changes that may not be appropiate for 2.6.11. If it's deemed appropiate I could do such a patch too though. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
