Re: [kernel-hardening] Merge in PAX_MEMORY_SANITIZE work from grsec to linux-next

[Kaiwan N Billimoria <kaiwan@kaiwantech.com>]

Pl bear with me, am trying to understand this correctly.
From what I gather, we look to create a new config directive, say,
CONFIG_MEMORY_SANITIZE .

It will turn ON :
 CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC 
   (which internally turns ON CONFIG_PAGE_EXTENSION), and
 CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING
   (similar internal turn-ons :).

The new config now enables the CONFIG_PAX_MEMORY_SANITIZE code (my prev 
email patch), correct? (leaving out the stuff we cannot get without the 
full grsec implementation).
-Would include the 'new' poison / sanitize values of 0xfe and 0xff for slab
(64 and 32-bit resp), etc etc.


Even if this is (somewhat) correct, my thinking is - correct me I'm totally 
wrong here - that the whole purpose of the exercise is to improve _security_;
hence, tying this code into the "debug features" of the kernel isn't really 
what we want, yes?
Most folks would only use debug during development, if at all - given all the 
concerns regarding performance. Here, the objective is to enable a powerful 
security feature set. Hence, the config directives should come under the 
'Security Options' menu.

Regards,
Kaiwan.
