Subject: [PATCH] x86: make nx_enabled conditional on CONFIG_X86_PAE
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2008 13:00:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1201035611.16972.61.camel@brick> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080122203611.GA12892@elte.hu>

nx_enabled can only be set to non-zero when CONFIG_X86_PAE is
set.  The only use not currently inside a CONFIG_X86_PAE block
is the definition, the declaration and a conditional unlikely
test in fault_32.c (is_prefetch).

When !CONFIG_X86_PAE, is_prefetch always returns 0 immediately
as nx_enabled is always 0.

When CONFIG_X86_PAE, the test is preserved, but the test against
the cpu model and stepping is deleted, this may not be correct.

Ingo, further to your nx vs !nx comment, had this lying around,
needs testing, only affects the CONFIG_X86_PAE case.
