I compiled a custom fedora 5.0 kernel, and one of the new options was to have the kernel zero the stack on return from kernel functions. The cost was about 1% on a single cpu system. I made the judgement that this would be great on cloud servers, but wasn't really necessary for a local machine. Is there a reason it might be good for a local machine to have this enabled? _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
