Description Nicolas Lidzborski 2003-05-08 15:52:38 UTC 
Kernel compilation with CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_CHROOT_NICE set results in error when
compiling the grsecurity part of the kernel (missing part in a structure for
gr_handle_chroot_setpriority function).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge 
2. Have a config with CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_CHROOT_NICE=y
3. make dep and then make bzImage

Actual Results:  
Failed kernel build

Expected Results:  
Compiled kernel

Comment 1 Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-08 15:55:57 UTC 
this is fixed in pfeifer-sources-2.4.20_pre11 (actually it was fixed in pre8 but pre11 is better) - use it for now until i package it for the next gentoo-sources.

Comment 2 Nicolas Lidzborski 2003-05-08 16:28:39 UTC 
To sum up, gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r3 will never compile with some grsecurity options and we should wait for gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r4 ?
Comment 3 Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-08 17:35:22 UTC 
gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r4 is now in portage. Enjoy and give some feedback.

Thanks,

Jay
