x86: include proper prototypes for rodata_test 2008-02-14T22:30:20+00:00 Harvey Harrison harvey.harrison@gmail.com 2008-02-12T20:12:01+00:00 7bfeab9af95565e38a97fbcfb631e5b140241187 extern should not appear in C files. Also, the definitions do not match the prototype currently, not sure what way you want to go with this, I've switched the prototype to return int, but I can see going to the void return as well.

x86: add testcases for RODATA and NX protections/attributes 2008-01-30T12:34:08+00:00 Arjan van de Ven arjan@infradead.org 2008-01-30T12:34:08+00:00 edeed30589f5defe63ce6aaae56f2b7c855e4520 Latest update; I now have 4 NX tests, but 2 fail so they're #if 0'd. I also cleaned up the NX test code quite a bit, and got rid of the ugly exception table sorting stuff. From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> This patch adds testcases for the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA configuration option as well as the NX CPU feature/mappings. Both testcases can move to tests/ once that patch gets merged into mainline. (I'm half considering moving the rodata test into mm/init.c but I'll wait with that until init.c is unified) As part of this I had to fix a not-quite-right alignment in the vmlinux.lds.h for the RODATA sections, which lead to 1 page less being marked read only.
