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>
