2011-10-31arm: convert core files from module.h to export.hPaul Gortmaker
Many of the core ARM kernel files are not modules, but just including module.h for exporting symbols. Now these files can use the lighter footprint export.h for this role. There are probably lots more, but ARM files of mach-* and plat-* don't get coverage via a simple yesconfig build. They will have to be cleaned up and tested via using their respective configs.

2011-04-14ARM: 6878/1: fix personality flag propagation across an execNicolas Pitre
Our SET_PERSONALITY() implementation was overwriting all existing personality flags, including ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, making them unavailable to processes being exec'd after a call to personality() in user space. This prevents the gdb test suite from running successfully. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-01-18ARM: 5883/1: Revert "disable NX support for OABI-supporting kernels"Rabin Vincent
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.

2009-05-23[ARM] disable NX support for OABI-supporting kernelsRussell King
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 <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2009-02-19[ARM] 5404/1: Fix condition in arm_elf_read_implies_exec() to set ↵Makito SHIOKAWA
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC 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 <lkhmkt@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-11-04[ARM] fix VFP+softfloat binariesRussell King
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.

2008-10-01[ARM] Improve non-executable supportRussell King
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 <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
