PaX support on pmax? There is only one reaction I have for that: why? (With "because we can" probably being the reason)
[Edit: landisk platform are various NAS boxes, so nothing of comparable obsolescence as pmax]
- rjsw 8y agoThe pmax is supported by several emulators, if you want to develop PaX for MIPS then it is as good a starting point as anything else. The EdgeRouter devices are MIPS and people are still using Loongson laptops.
- dfox 8y agoI somewhat realize that availability of good pmax emulators is the reason. MIPS being far from dead platform is not that much relevant as the announcement explicitly singles out pmax and does not mention platforms like evbmips or sgimips.
- nbsd4life 8y agoit's probably a mistake that it got enabled there, I don't think the architecture has support for it. Even the edgerouter shouldn't, but don't quote me on it.
