* fix_xen_guest_on_old_EC2.patch

Ugly for upstream. It's a hack to make old HV's work optimally.

Eventually we can drop it, but probably not until fixed HV's

are commonplace. (When?)

Added September 2009, but had been around even before that.

'MUSTARD' patches. Fedora local patches that are very unlikely to go upstream.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* linux-2.6-32bit-mmap-exec-randomization.patch
|
||||||
|
One half of the remaining exec-shield diff.
|
||||||
|
- davej bugged Ingo again on Jun 17 2011 about upstreaming, no response.
|
||||||
|
- mailed Linus asking for opinions in August 2011. He still hates it.
|
||||||
|
"Ugh. Certainly not in this form. That patch is just disgusting." ..
|
||||||
|
"I think that with NX and now SMEP, if you really care about security,
|
||||||
|
you'd better be using a CPU that supports 64-bit operations anyway."
|
||||||
|
As well as the increased randomisation, there's a key part of this patch
|
||||||
|
that means that DSOs get loaded in the ASCII-Armor area on 32bit.
|
||||||
|
(Addresses have topmost byte == 0)
|
||||||

|

|
|
||||||
|
* linux-2.6-i386-nx-emulation.patch
|
||||||
|
The ugly segment hack part of exec-shield that Linus hates.
|
||||||
|
Unlikely to ever go upstream.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* linux-2.6-crash-driver.patch
|
||||||
|
Unlikely to go upstream.
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* linux-2.6-e1000-ich9-montevina.patch
|
||||||
|
Intel hates it. Davej has an SDV that needs it.
|
||||||
|
Low maintenence, and worth hanging onto until it gets replaced
|
||||||
|
with something that fails in a different way.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* utrace.patch
|
||||||
|
Hopefully it'll die when uprobes gets upstream.

* modules-extra: Do a few more things to make it a bit more robust.
|
||||||
|
- Allow for comments in the mod-extra.list file.
|
||||||
|
- Don't fail the build if a module is listed but not built (maybe).
|
||||||
|
- See if it can be tied into Kconfig instead of module names.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* investigate gzip modules. Everything should support this now?
|
||||||
|
Looks like about 70M savings per kernel installed.
