Sujet: Re: [Dng] with pax flags, Java works fine - (was Hardened Devuan)
Just to clarify... *Java will run* with a grsecurity hardened kernel,
with pax enabled. It just needs mprotect disabled for the specific
programs that need it disabled. (and also many other things need this...
python, kdeinit4, skype, kscreenlocker_greet, thunderbird, firefox,
plugin-container, gdb, utox, grub-probe, etc. also firefox needs JIT
disabled for optimal stability). For this you need some kernel features
enabled; I recommend the one using xattrs because then the binaries
don't need modifications (or backups, and modified binaries won't run
properly in a non-grsec kernel, but they run fine with xattrs).

Set the extended file system attribute with:

setfattr -n user.pax.flags -v m Konsole output
/usr/lib*/jvm/java-*-openjdk-*/jre/bin/java

(example path, may not be right for Debian openjdk)

I have been running grsecurity kernels on my desktop at home and the
office for about a year now, with Java and everything in use.

Also, you can set pax to "soft mode" to temporarily disable those
protections.

And the kernel buffer displays errors when such things are needed, so it
is easy enough to identify why a program doesn't work, to enable those
flags:
