Subject: [PATCH] perf, tool: Fix perf stack to non executable on x86_64
Date: Wed,  1 Feb 2012 13:54:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1328100848-5630-1-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com> (raw)

By adding following objects:
  bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o
  bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
the x86_64 perf binary ended up with executable stack.

The reason was that above objects are assembler sourced and
are missing the GNU-stack note section. In such case the linker
assumes that the final binary should not be restricted at all
and mark the stack as RWX.

Adding section ".note.GNU-stack" definition to mentioned objects,
with all flags disabled, thus omiting those objects from linker
stack flags decision.
