Description Alson van der Meulen 2002-04-30 00:22:43 UTC

The nvidia-kernel module uses PAGE_SHARED, but PAGE_SHARED is called
PAGE_SHARED_EXEC and PAGE_SHARED_NOEXEC if CONFIG_GRSECURITY_PAX or
CONFIG_GRSECURITY_PAX_RANDMMAP are defined (defined in
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/pgtable.h). This results in a compile error.

I created a patch that at least makes it compile, but have not tested if it
really makes it work under PAX yet.

Created attachment 728 [details, diff]
Make nvidia-kernel compile if PAX is turned on in the kernel config

Not tested wether it really works yet, only compiled it.
