I'm also concerned that stack protector does not workyet at all.
Even if the desktop was useable, how would we tell people that it's
okay to run e.g. firefox with a straight face? It's not as bad as
if, say, selinux didn't work, but it's a significant concern.
armv7 has stack protector, aarch64 which is outside of this proposal
doesnt yet have it.
from redhat-rpm-config
redhat-rpm-config-9.1.0/rpmrc:optflags: armv7hl %{__global_cflags} -march=armv7-a
-mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mfloat-abi=hard
redhat-rpm-config-9.1.0/rpmrc:optflags: aarch64 %{__global_cflags}
- -fno-stack-protector
redhat-rpm-config-9.1.0/macros:%__global_cflags -O2 -g -pipe
- -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong
- --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches %{_hardened_cflags}
i agree 64 bit arm if and when it goes to primary will need it, but for
today it is outside of the change proposal.
