Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3 V13] RO/NX protection for loadable kernel
Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2011 15:49:59 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110110234959.GE4979@outflux.net> (raw)

Hi,
I was just shown this[1] on Xen from an Ubuntu bug report[2].
[ 1.230382] NX-protecting the kernel data: 3884k
[ 1.231002] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at c1782ae0
...
[ 1.231145] Call Trace:

[ 1.231198] [<c0138bdf>] ? set_memory_nx+0x5f/0x70
Does Xen have different size page table allocations or something weird?
