Download: 32 & 64-bit Xen Paravirtualized domU initrd-free Monolithic Kernel 3.10.17

karma

This is a significant step up from the drop-in kernels I have posted previously. Thanks to a massive cleanup this is the first Xen PV kernel I've been able to build with heap randomization and stack smashing protection. Other improvements include:

  • EXT4 support
  • NFS4 support
  • Full-range IPSec support (untested)
  • Head-to-toe netfilter and crypto
  • Per-process i/o stats (see iotop)!
  • dmesg_restrict

Download
kernel-domU-3.10.17-32 739ca0128e68b33164fdccc66bd53bb8 (.config)
kernel-domU-3.10.17-64 0e59bba671893715b04a16f7ee8edb3a (.config)

As always, these kernels are monolithic (lack loadable module support) for security and do not require an initrd to boot a Xen virtual machine.

Your udev or other parts of userland may require upgrading or downgrading to play ball with this kernel version. I'm migrating from 3.2.12 without any issues.
