From d5adb029efad3c51db376d620319abe65d1efc21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernd Schmidt Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 03:06:15 +0800 Subject: [Blackfin] arch: This allows XIP to work with FD-PIC. Previously, init failed to do anything meaningful; it turns out that the reason is that FD-PIC has a readonly data section which can be located in the XIP filesystem, and various address checks in the kernel reject such addresses for syscall arguments. Hence, init's execve ("/bin/sh", ...) failed with error code EFAULT. There's room for improvement here: in case people want to have filesystems on flash rather than in main memory, _access_ok should be modified to allow this. This bug fix is also dedicated to Michael Hennerich.
