Safety in Kernel Development

From: 慕冬亮 <hidden>

Since I knew that Linux kernel didn't accept the pax/grsecurity , but wrote
its own implement, and some linux developers do not have sense of security,
I think linux security will be a problem in the future.

Why? That's what the vast majority of the kernel is written in (besides
assembler, but what I'm looking for isn't a way to write safe assembler).
Plus, tons of people in the kernel development community *must* have some
concern or interest in security. I don't care if the kernel is written in
C, but I sure would like my kernel module to be safer. If I can get it I
don't care what language it's in-it just has to work and *be secure*.

Ok- so I know that C is the defacto standard for kernel
development...
  and that's probably where you should have stopped typing. :-)
