-config GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK
- bool "Erase the kernel stack before returning from syscalls"
- depends on GCC_PLUGINS
- depends on HAVE_ARCH_STACKLEAK
- help
- This option makes the kernel erase the kernel stack before
- returning from system calls. That reduces the information which
- kernel stack leak bugs can reveal and blocks some uninitialized
- stack variable attacks.
-
- The tradeoff is the performance impact: on a single CPU system kernel
- compilation sees a 1% slowdown, other systems and workloads may vary
- and you are advised to test this feature on your expected workload
- before deploying it.

-config STACKLEAK_TRACK_MIN_SIZE

- range 0 4096
- depends on GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK
- help
- The STACKLEAK gcc plugin instruments the kernel code for tracking
- the lowest border of the kernel stack (and for some other purposes).
- It inserts the stackleak_track_stack() call for the functions with
- a stack frame size greater than or equal to this parameter.
- If unsure, leave the default value 100.

- If this is set, STACKLEAK metrics for every task are available in
- the /proc file system. In particular, /proc/<pid>/stack_depth
- shows the maximum kernel stack consumption for the current and
- previous syscalls. Although this information is not precise, it
- can be useful for estimating the STACKLEAK performance impact for
- your workloads.

-config STACKLEAK_RUNTIME_DISABLE
- bool "Allow runtime disabling of kernel stack erasing"
- depends on GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK
- help
- This option provides 'stack_erasing' sysctl, which can be used in
