Hello!
After several years of "regular" Gentoo I decided to move to Hardened
Gentoo using grsecurity & PaX.
I tried initially the XT marking, but I switched back to PT marking
because of bug #465000.
Everything seems fine and seems to work, but I noticed some weird logs
in the kernel log when I did yesterday an "emerge -e @world".
I observed that for several packages in the configure step grsec is
reporting resource overstep denials. But what really concerns me the 2
segfaults: readline and gcc. Please see attached kern.log file. What
confuses me is that both packages build fine beside these errors.
Is this "normal" for grsec hardened kernels? Should I just ignore those
grsec messages and segfaults? I would really appreciate some hints about
these.
I attached also my kernel options related to security.
Regards,
Balint Szente
