From 124d90be62343f71bbb7a6b4a907b5584181e6d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Prasanna S Panchamukhi Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2006 13:04:08 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Kprobes causes NX protection fault on i686 SMP Fix a problem seen on i686 machine with NX support where the instruction could not be single stepped because of NX bit set on the memory pages allocated by kprobes module. This patch provides allocation of instruction solt so that the processor can execute the instruction from that location similar to x86_64 architecture. Thanks to Bibo and Masami for testing this patch.
