[uml-devel] skas3(-v3) for 2.4.27 with exec-shield

[Goetz B. <boc...@bl...>]

Hi all,

as I've no realy idea about the internal work of the skas patches, I'll
have to bother you.

I'd like to run a 2.4.27 kernel with exec-shield patch and skas3, if
possible the -v3 version from BlaisorBlade, except that it does not
apply :-(

There are three conflicts in mm/mprotect.c but i suspect there are more
not working sections.

The patch seams to mainly change current->mm to mm, after defining 

    struct mm_struct * mm = vma->vm_mm;

unfortunately i've no idea how current-> mm and vma->vm_mm (aka mm)
relate. Are they the same?

Sorry, but obviosely I've no idea about the vm subsystem ... and not
more about the rest of the kernel :-(
