A few things you can do:
1) Patch the kernel to not attempt module loading for alternate execution
environments. This code never worked in the kernel anyway, so no harm in
pulling it. Something like:
diff --git a/kernel/exec_domain.c b/kernel/exec_domain.c
index 0dbeae3..a66ea19 100644
--- a/kernel/exec_domain.c
+++ b/kernel/exec_domain.c
@@ -68,7 +68,8 @@
goto out;
}
-#ifdef CONFIG_MODULES
+
+#if 0
read_unlock(&exec_domains_lock);
request_module("personality-%d", pers);
read_lock(&exec_domains_lock);
2) Add a dontaudit SELinux rule to suppress these:
Add the following to your device specific policy:
dontaudit domain kernel:system module_request;
However, please
read https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02433.html
before doing so.
3) Backport the patches
