 Maybe it might be a good idea to embed grsecurity in the kernel - for

I think the main goal should be to upstream our changes, not add new

What has grsecurity to do with debugging?
...


On there home page they write:

# Prevention of arbitrary code execution, regardless of the technique used (stack smashing, heap corruption, etc)
# Prevention of arbitrary code execution in the kernel
# Randomization of the stack, library, and heap bases
# Kernel stack base randomization
# Protection against exploitable null-pointer dereference bugs in the kernel

E.g. Some buffer overflows will be stopped.
