NX bit with paravirt ops
...res that PaX uses under a 64-bit kernel is the NX bit. I''m using the paxtest utility (available at http://paxgrsecurity.net) to test whether the NX bit is working.
On a host with NX support, a 64-bit 2.6.18 xen kernel has a working NX bit. Under a vanilla 2.6.27.4 paravirt_ops kernel with HIGHMEM64 and PAE enabled however, the nx bit doesn''t seem to work. The nx flag is listed in /proc/cpuinfo on both the 2.6.18 and 2.6.27 guest.
So my question is; does paravirt_ops support the use of the nx-bit?
Cheers,
Brad
