It's not quite what you asked for, but the kernel-hardening mailing list discusses various efforts to harden the Linux kernel:

Kees Cook proposed working on Linux kernel hardening in Nov 2015: https://lwn.net/Articles/663361/ and pointed to a wiki on the "Kernel Self Protection Project" at http://kernsec.org/wiki/index.php/Kernel_Self_Protection_... - that site states, "These kinds of protections have existed for years in PaX, grsecurity, and piles of academic papers. For various social, cultural, and technical reasons, they have not made their way into the upstream kernel, and this project seeks to change that."
