Hello all. After some talks on opennet.ru I dived into the sys/uvm/ and other places, having a few more or less tech-nical questions raised now. Can anybody answer them?
1. amap_share_protect() in sys/uvm/uvm_amap.c is totally unused, is there any point for keeping it around? 2. Am I right that W^X techniques like segment splitting on i386 are not used in kernel? 2a. If yes, what's the main stopper here? 3. What's the point in keeping sys/arch/i386/i386/pmapae.c? Are there any plans for re-enabling PAE support? 4. Stack gap limit (STACKGAP_RANDOM) on almost all archs is 256*1024 (some use less). Are there any pitfalls in growing it on (64-bit) archs like amd64, changing random bit count from 15 to something more effective? Thanks in advance, and sorry for bothering, if any. -- WBR, Vadim Zhukov A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.
