A while back, I'd gone through each of the features in grsecurity and
PAX. There were a number that seemed good from a security point of
view, but difficult in terms of culture within the kernel. I've just
started up going through these again, as well as reading the kernel
hardening wiki, and I should soon have a better idea of what would be
good to work on. My scope is broad enough that I want to get a good
idea of where others want to go as well, as well as what brings good
benefit.
I suspect part of the challenge is going to be clearly describing the
various features along with specific examples of already-discovered
exploits that the feature would have mitigated.
Most recently, I backported ARM PAN support to the Linaro stable
kernels (3.18 and 4.1).
