From 984bb80d94d891592ab16d4d129b988792752c7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 22:39:45 +0100 Subject: x86: mark the .rodata section also NX The .rodata section shouldn't just be read-only, but also non-executable. This is free since we've broken up the 2MB page already anyway. also update test_nx to check for this.
