From a7b22962776109b5bfe3a3efa4f42622318c547d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rabin Vincent Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 15:04:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 5883/1: Revert "disable NX support for OABI-supporting kernels" 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.
