The toolchain is not hardened, but I have pax enabled with hardened-sources.

Pax.log reports:

This does not happen with the hardened profile, and paxctl -m on kdeinit4 solves the issue.

PaX is independent of the toolchain I believe.

It is, which is why I asked ago to file this bug. What he's saying is that a toolchain-vanilla system running under a pax hardened kernel leads to an rwx mmap while a toolchain-harcened system running under the same kernel avoids the rwx mmap.

This is far outside of what I run, but I would love if I could reproduce it.

ago, any change of getting an strace -f?

It works If I start it manually. It does not work if it passes from kdeinit4
Comment 4 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2013-06-19 21:25:00 UTC
the same thing(denied mmap) happens after the wakeup:

And if I'm stopping kdm, I can reproduce bug 472834:

Thanks for reporting. Pax marking was added on >=kde-base/kdelibs-4.12.3-r1. Please sync and test.

Comment 7 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-03-16 14:12:06 UTC
The problem persists only if there is a non-hardened system.

This fix will remove mprotect for all users (hardened included). Is this what we want?

No, we do not want this, bad idea. I do not see any of these issues running hardened-nomultilib toolchain on hardened-sources. Let's please revert this as it reduces the effectiveness of pax/grsec.

As pax-marking is forbidden we have no chance to fix it sorry.
