Package: linux-grsec-base
Version: 4
Severity: normal

There are many live distros which rely on aufs, and cannot use overlayfs
due to compatibility issues. Because linux-grsec does not contain the
aufs patches, live distros which require the extra security provided by
grsec are SoL. I request that you add the aufs patches to linux-grsec.

There are compatibility patches required, but they are helpfully provided by Gentoo. The relevant patches are available in the most up to date form
under the names 4508_aufs4-mmap-pax.patch and 4511_pax-4.4.2.patch, in
the Pentoo repo:

https://github.com/pentoo/pentoo-livecd/tree/master/kernel/4.4.8

Maintainance should be very easy as the most important patch,
4511_pax-4.4.2.patch, is small and simple. 4508_aufs4-mmap-pax.patch is
just a version of 4508_aufs4-mmap.patch which is compatible with PaX. For
kernel 4.5.7-r5, applying the following in order works:

4506_aufs4-kbuild.patch
4507_aufs4-mmap-pax.patch
4509_aufs4-standalone.patch
4510_aufs4-files.patch
4511_pax-4.4.2.patch

There are a few issues with variables that are automatically constified
being written to, but that can be trivially fixed with the following:
