Grsec in the kernel eta?
- rs_rs_rs_rs_rs 4y agoI can only see that happening if spender goes insane.
- JoshTriplett 4y ago*goes sane More seriously: many different security improvements are filtering into the kernel idea-by-idea, insofar as folks working on kernel security do the actual work of making them fit in with the kernel, and/or coming up with better alternatives.
- geofft 4y agohttps://kernsec.org/wiki/index.php/Kernel_Self_Protection_Project https://kernsec.org/wiki/index.php/Kernel_Self_Protection_Pr... is basically trying to upstream grsec's good ideas in upstream-friendly ways. (Oddly, grsec itself has expressed opposition to Rust in the kernel, I think on the grounds that their custom GCC plugins can't cross the language boundary. Now that there's work on supporting Rust in GCC itself, I'm not sure if that objection still applies.)
