I don't disagree with the objectives, but that patch is just spoon-feeding anyway. Some people prefer to specify 'all' their own options. What's wrong with instructions to do that, instead of patch's? Preventing TEXTREL is logical, but what about preventing ELF ET_REL injection in kernel memory? The available tools can now evade PAX/grsecurity and they do this from user space; I find this disturbing. Marty B. - -- Putting Microsoft in a computer is like putting screen doors in a submarine.
