GrapheneOS on Nostr: The other major new feature is fully enabling PAC/BTI for userspace on the Pixel 8 ...
The other major new feature is fully enabling PAC/BTI for userspace on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Stock OS currently only enables PAC for the kernel where we already enabled BTI to cover functions excluded from type-based CFI. MTE was our priority since it's far more impactful.
