nitter.vloup.ch/paxteam/status/8… so an incomplete commit that explicitly mentions it hasn't yet been fully ported from PaX is a problem?

did you publish copyrighted code attributing it to yourself and not its copyright owner or not? really simple question.
1
It says there that it's in the process of being ported from PaX. That's more credit than you give to people.

you're not answering the question. do you feel guilty of copyright violation? you should be, and it's not the only commit.
1
Nope, do not feel guilty of any copyright violation. Haven't made any claims about being the original author of this code.

you have, check who git thinks the author of that code is. it's explicitly called out in the kernel's DCO too.

This is not mainline. The __ro_after_init changes submitted upstream clearly say that they are extracted from the PaX patches.

Which as has been pointed out, doesn't actually make the authorship clear. It's not clear if you, spender or a contributor made the changes.
