That seems to be a large uncoordinated branch of many topics. I guessed just from the log summary which commits are these ones: git log -n3 6bf4df3 (I haven't really reviewed the changes.) Kees, if you are looking for review, putting these on an isolated topic branch for people to look at easily is probably a good idea. > Yes, we've been saying for a while that the randomization stuff needs to > be gutted from exec-shield.

It was vaguely on my list for ages to clean up execshield and slice it into separate patches, but I just gave up on ever getting around to it. One should probably ping Ingo, since (AFAIK) he did it all to begin with, back in the beforetime, the long, long ago. The exec-shield boot/sysctl parameter has never made a whole lot of sense to me. The "exec-shield" stuff is really about three separate things. If they need knobs, it's always seemed to me they should have separate knobs. > I suspect all this is still too invasive in the generic code to be > palatable. I haven't really looked at Kees' patches. But having considered before factoring this stuff out to cleanish, the i386 "NX emulation" stuff seemed like the first thing to do and not hard to do fairly cleanly. (Not that this motivated me to bother doing it.)
