Arch grsecurity kernel

Hello,

Just a quick question about using a custom kernel on one of my Linodes. Straight from the Arch wiki I see the following:

~~![](<URL url=)http://ionic-web.com/images/xen.png" />

I've read the base requirements at: ~~[https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/custom-kernels-distros/run-a-custom-compiled-kernel-with-pvgrub" target="_blank">](https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-refer … ith-pvgrub">https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/custom-kernels-distros/run-a-custom-compiled-kernel-with-pvgrub]( and can't find any documentation about secure kernels. I know Linode uses xen to run our servers however is this limitation only relevant if trying to run xen as a host so in our case (as guests) it doesn't matter or it's a problem for guests also? Is the information on the Arch wiki outdated and irrelevant? I note from reading around the net that many people seem to be running the grsecurity kernel within xen guests no problem.

Anyone else here running grsecurity kernel on their Linode?

Thanks for reading~~
