Subject: XFAIL check-execstack for MIPS [committed]
Date: Fri, 04 Nov 2016 16:43:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1611041643020.25235@digraph.polyomino.org.uk> (raw)
This patch marks the check-execstack test as expected to fail for
MIPS, with a comment referencing previous RFC discussion of the
changes that would be needed to support non-executable stacks on MIPS.
Tested for MIPS (all 24 ABIs). Committed.
