Only once, I got the following error with an UML compiled with GCC hardened:
Configuring network interfaces... Debug: sleeping function called from invalid context at /home/paolo/Admin/kernel/6/VCS/linux-2.6.16/mm/slab.c:2729 remove_umid_dir - actually_do_remove failed with err = -2 vmlinux-2.6.16.9-bs2-read_output: stack smashing attack in function start_idle_thread() And UML exited. That's surely a false positive, likely caused by setjmp() / longjmp() games, and I never saw it (but possibly other times it happened and I ignored it) - I have not had a _bad_ experience with the hardened GCC (I've written some patches to allow UML to compile with it, they'll be in -bs2 - it simply amounts to disabling -fpie and -fstack-protector for sensitive files). However, I still wanted to inform you of this. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
