Enabling Secure Computing (SECCOMP)

2007-09-19 Thread Chuck Ebbert
We have a bug report requesting that we enable SECCOMP:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=295841

I suggest we enable it in Fedora 8 but leave it disabled in F7.
That way we're not changing a config item in a stable release,
and we don't have to carry patches to lower the feature's
overhead and make its API match 2.6.23's.

Saw that one too. Turning it on just in F8 sounds sane to me.

The reasons against it in the past were that it slowed down
the common case (people who aren't using the feature)

I don't know if this is still a relevant objection, Ingo?

It doesn't look like it should.
