Merge branch 'core-stackprotector-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull strong stackprotector support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree adds a CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y, a new, stronger stack canary checking method supported by the newest GCC versions (4.9 and later). Here's the 'intensity comparison' between the various protection modes: - defconfig 11430641 kernel text size 36110 function bodies - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR 11468490 kernel text size (+0.33%) 1015 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (2.81%) - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch 11692790 kernel text size (+2.24%) 7401 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (20.5%) the strong model comes with non-trivial costs, which is why we preserved the 'regular' and 'none' models as well" * 'core-stackprotector-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: stackprotector: Introduce CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG stackprotector: Unify the HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR logic between architectures

-config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
- bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- help
- This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
- feature puts, at the beginning of 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.
