" on a 32-bit kernel, base will overflow when try to do PAGE_SHIFT, and highest_addr will always less 4G.

2008-02-06x86: remove suprious ifdefs from pageattr.cArjan van de Ven
The .rodata section really should just be read only; the config option is there to make breaking up the 2Mb page an option (so people whos machines give more performance for the 2Mb case can opt to do so). But when the page gets split anyway, this is no longer an issue, so clean up the code and remove the ifdefs Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-02-06x86: mark the .rodata section also NXArjan van de Ven

2008-02-06x86: fix iret exception recovery on 64-bitRoland McGrath
This change broke recovery of exceptions in iret: commit 72fe4858544292ad64600765cb78bc02298c6b1c Author: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> x86: replace privileged instructions with paravirt macros The ENTRY(native_iret) macro adds alignment padding before the iretq instruction, so "iret_label" no longer points exactly at the instruction. It was sloppy to leave the old "iret_label" label behind when replacing its nearby use. Removing it would have revealed the other use of the label later in the file, and upon noticing that use, anyone exercising the minimum of attention to detail expected of anyone touching this subtle code would realize it needed to change as well.

2008-02-06x86 ptrace: disallow null cs/ssRoland McGrath
In my revamp of the x86 ptrace code for setting register values, I accidentally omitted a check that was there in the old code. Allowing %cs to be 0 causes a bad crash in recovery from iret failure.

2008-02-06x86: make spurious fault handler aware of large mappingsThomas Gleixner
In very rare cases, on certain CPUs, we could end up in the spurious fault handler and ignore a large pud/pmd mapping.
