From: Mingarelli, Thomas Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 09:59:00 +0000 (+0100) Subject: watchdog: hpwdt: Changes to handle NX secure bit in 32bit path X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e67d668e147c3b4fec638c9e0ace04319f5ceccd;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git watchdog: hpwdt: Changes to handle NX secure bit in 32bit path This patch makes use of the set_memory_x() kernel API in order to make necessary BIOS calls to source NMIs. This is needed for SLES11 SP2 and the latest upstream kernel as it appears the NX Execute Disable has grown in its control.
