source: patches/grub-0.97-use_mmap-2.patch@ 3763058

Submitted By: Jim Gifford <clfs at cross-lfs dot org>
Date: 07-15-2009
Initial Package Version: 0.97
Upstream Status: Unknown
Origin: Grub Bug Report - http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=11312
Description: This patch fixes the following issues on x86_64
        1) malloc'd pages seem to lack the execute bit on x86_64;
        2) grub seems to use some stack pointer diversion to malloc'd pages;
        3) nested functions execute data on the stack;
        4) this causes a segfault (at least on my machine)
