Re: Safety in Kernel Development

Since I knew that Linux kernel didn't accept the pax/grsecurity , but wrote its own implement, and some linux developers do not have sense of security, 
I think linux security will be a problem in the future.

Why? That's what the vast majority of the kernel is written in (besides assembler, but what I'm looking for isn't a way to write safe assembler). Plus, tons of people in the kernel development community *must* have some concern or interest in security. I don't care if the kernel is written in C, but I sure would like my kernel module to be safer. If I can get it I don't care what language it's in-it just has to work and *be secure*.
