Description Dennis Schridde 2013-11-15 08:28:08 UTC

On ia64 make oldconfig in sys-kernel/hardened-sources-3.2.52-r2 outputs:
warning: (GRKERNSEC) selects DEBUG_LIST which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL)

Same issue on sys-kernel/hardened-sources-3.11.7-r1. Is I have to enable DEBUG_KERNEL or it will build/work fine without it?

Comment 2 Alex Efros 2013-12-28 11:37:21 UTC

Also, I'm on amd64, not ia64.

Had the same issue on amd64 architecture. Took a quick look at 

grep DEBUG_KERNEL /usr/src/linux -R -A20 -B5 | less

and determined for myself, that it is -- at least for amd64 and x86 -- a meta option. Meaning it does nothing to the code, but only gives you more options (e. g. DEBUG_LIST) to configure your kernel. I might be wrong, but after compiling that kernel without CONFIG_KERNEL_DEBUG=y it seems to run without complications.

I can't seem to reproduce this on recentt hardened-sources.
