Agreed it should be a blocker. As to whether linux and BSD are sufficent all I
can say is that at the moment I believe most of the other execute permission
patches have the same conditionalization so its consistent. But is it
sufficient? That's another story. My suggestion is that we need to do some clean
up in this area, the current patches are kind of a hack. I'd leave the
conditionals the way the are for now, in the near term if its not sufficient
we'll know about it promptly. In the interim maybe we can bring some order to
this stuff. I think the right answer long term is for a separate heap mananger
for executable memory. I'd also LOVE to get rid of the "roll your own and have
it constantly break and not be useable with a debugger" proprietary loader and
instead use system services. If we bring some sanity to module loading some of
these issues are going to evaporate.
