At the least we'll likely want to also pick up the other stack protector fixes that went into .25rc if we turn it on in .24 Dave -- http://www.codemonkey.org.uk ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Well, it is. But it'll cause it to enable something that has been broken for a while. FWIW, I think having the stack protector reenabled in -stable is a worthwhile goal, but only once it's stabilised for a while in the development tree. My fear by just reenabling this for -stable is that when distros push out updates based on the latest -stable, we'll see more systems like James' problematic system.

Fair enough, between this worry, and Arjan saying "no way", I've now dropped it :) thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
