x86, mm: Report state of NX protections during boot 2009-11-16T21:44:59+00:00 Kees Cook kees.cook@canonical.com 2009-11-13T23:28:17+00:00 4b0f3b81eb33ef18283aa71440cccfede1753ae0 It is possible for x86_64 systems to lack the NX bit either due to the hardware lacking support or the BIOS having turned off the CPU capability, so NX status should be reported. Additionally, anyone booting NX-capable CPUs in 32bit mode without PAE will lack NX functionality, so this change provides feedback for that case as well.

x86, mm: Clean up and simplify NX enablement 2009-11-16T21:44:59+00:00 H.

Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for the available of NX. This patch: a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function into a single x86_configure_nx() function. EFER control is left to the head code. b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely.

x86: fix power-of-2 round_up/round_down macros 2009-07-02T19:05:10+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2009-07-02T19:05:10+00:00 43644679a1e80f53e6e0155ab75b1093ba3c0365 These macros had two bugs: - the type of the mask was not correctly expanded to the full size of the argument being expanded, resulting in possible loss of high bits when mixing types. - the alignment argument was evaluated twice, despite the macro looking like a fancy function (but it really does need to be a macro, since it works on arbitrary integer types) Noticed by Peter Anvin, and with a fix that is a modification of his suggestion (bug noticed by Yinghai Lu).
