I don't think so. From the wikipedia page: ---- As of mid 2004, PaX has not been submitted for the mainline kernel tree because The PaX Team does not think it yet appropriate; although PaX is fully functional on many CPU architectures, including the popular x86 architecture used by most, it still remains partially or fully unimplemented on some architectures. Those that PaX is effective on include IA-32(x86), AMD64, IA-64, Alpha, PA-RISC, and 32 and 64 bit MIPS, PowerPC, and SPARC architectures ---- And I think there is periodically threads on LKML but can't find a relevant one quickly.
