config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPRIMENTAL)"

help
This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
neutralized via a kernel panic.
This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL
bool "Use stack-protector for all functions"
depends on CC_STACKPROTECTOR
help
Normally, GCC only inserts the canary value protection for
functions that use large-ish on-stack buffers. By enabling
this option, GCC will be asked to do this for ALL functions.
