+ - last public [grsecurity][3] patch (options which they disable),
+ - [SECURITY_LOCKDOWN_LSM][5] patchset,
+ - direct feedback from Linux kernel maintainers (Daniel Vetter in [issue #38][6]).
I also created [__Linux Kernel Defence Map__][4] that is a graphical representation of the
relationships between these hardening features and the corresponding vulnerability classes
