Hi Larry
I much appreciate the effort you spend in fixing Oracle' s shortcomings / sluggishness!!!! Like others here on the list I can't really change to alternatives. (Read: I don't dare potentially breaking many things that I've tweaked into the config of VB - and I don't even remember all of the little tweaks accumulated over the years :-) )
I comes along nicely, if you need to to supply a home for bitten apples, and still handles hibernation better/nicer that libvirt. I'm hibernating my running VMs before backing them up for consistency reasons, and for libvirt, this was a major undertaking. It boiled down to building libvirt/qemu from Factory for Leap, and still needs some fiddling with reattaching usb devices after hibernation.
For others holding back an update due to this issue: The "few days for the fix to propagate through OBS" don't seem over yet -TW 20210716 still suffers from it. So I've resorted to apply the kernel parameter "randomize_kstack_offset=off" which indeed does the trick!
It will take a while to propagate, but there are no more review hurdles.
Thank you, Larry, for providing the fix. Much appreciated. I hereby confirm, that VB with the randomize stack fix applied is doing fine again with 5.13.2 without any kernel command line dances.. Best, Pete
