Message-ID: <ada8x1wa05p.fsf@cisco.com> Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2008 14:09:54 -0800 From: Roland Dreier <rdreier@...co.com> To: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] Fix CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK help text CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK=y means that heap randomization is turned off, so it's *always* a safe choice. I assume the help text is trying to say that if one does not run ancient binaries, then enabling heap randomization is safe.
