Default would be 0x1. Or we could apply the special case only for images with the OS elfnote set to 'linux', if all Linux kernels have the same PROT_NONE definition. With any of these solutions, the problem is how to communicate the flag or mask to xc_linux_save/xc_linux_restore, and how to propagate it across save/restore (i.e., how is it represented in a saved image?). -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
