[oss] [Lab 02][Task 5] mark .data as executable

[Alex Teaca]

Hello !

For the task 5, I try to mark the .data section as executable.
I tried in gdb to call the mprotect function:

(gdb) call mprotect(0x0804a010, 4, 0x1|0x2|0x4)
$1 = -1
, where the 0x0804a010 is the address of .data section found with objdump.
You see that mprotect returns error.

Also, I tried to compile with -S flag, and update the task5.s with
".section .data,"awx", at progbits"
but, when I compile, I get

gcc -C task5.s
test5.s: Assembler messages:
test5.s:5: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data

and the .data section remains WA.

So, how can I run code from .data section ?

Thanks, Alex
