I hope it's ok to answer for the Gentoo Hardened team (since I'm just a user): Grsec upstream won't support 3.10.x but the coming longterm ubuntu kernel (most likely someting around 3.13.x or the like. That will be the next Gentoo longterm kernel too, I presume. IIRC there ma be a 3.10.x longterm release with hardened patches and backports but not from the official grsec/PaX upstream but by ncopa (iirc again for Alpine Linux). The Github Repo is here: https://github.com/ncopa/linux-stable-grsec/tree/linux-3.10.y-grsec WKR Hinnerk
