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 :-) )
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.
Looks like it is in the 20210717 snapshot: ==== virtualbox ==== Subpackages: virtualbox-guest-tools virtualbox-guest-x11 - Add file "fix_random_stack_failure.patch" to fix CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET_DEFAULT problem with kernel 5.13 as shown in boo#118105. - Add file "fixes_for_5.14.patch" to fix builds on kernel 5.14.
