Hi Ruslan, hi all, I don't know if you followed the thread on -arch@, but the outcome is basically that SSP should be disabled for a couple of files: lib/csu/* gnu/lib/csu/* (reported by antoine@, but I couldn't verify this one) lib/libc/sys/stack_protector.c

Hi all, Another problem I have is that MK_SSP is used for both libssp and -fstack-protector. This could be a problem. I think moving libssp under MK_GNU_SUPPORT would make sense, but this would break backward compatibility WRT RELENG_7. What to do about this? FYI, libssp is not used at all

I decided to do it in devfs_devs.c because there are less entry points there and the code is much simpler (you know: aliases, clones). I also had to add !cold condition, because apparently we have devices created so early in the boot, that devctl is not ready to handle a notification. My system
