I cannot disagree more with this sentiment. Linus has specifically said he wants this initialization on by default[1], and the major thing holding that back from happening is that no one working on GCC has had time to add this feature there. All the kernels I know of that are built with Clang (Android, Chrome OS, OpenMandriva) either already have this turned on or have plans to do so shortly. > So I don't think the hardenning needs to be perfect, it needs to simple > and fast. I think it should be able to be intelligently optimized, so I'm all for finding ways to mark function arguments as "will be initialized" in some fashion. -Kees [1] "Oh, I love that patch." https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFykZL+cSBJjBBts7ebEFfyGPdMzTmLSxKnT_29=j942dA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ -- Kees Cook _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
