From 7682968b7d4d42bb076051b962c3926b4c98539a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 16:31:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86_64: Change default setting for noexec32 to match i386 kernel This means i386 processes compiled with a recent compiler will get non executable heap by default now. This is the same default as a 32bit PAE kernel would use on a NX enabled CPU.
