Hello Shawn;
What ever happened to the performance, does it still have a
noticeable effect even when disabled?
I have no technical opinion on the patch, but ...
TBH, the problem I see is that ASLR is so widespread that every
potential attacker already knows how to defeat it. Yes, it is meant
only as a mitigation technique but if it only buys you 5 min.
(at most) I don't see much advantage in obfuscating the VM.
Just IMHO ... I am not a player in that area and I don't maintain
the underlying code so I don't approve or reject anything.
Pedro.
