Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.4 4/4] tools/nolibc: ensure stack protector guard is never zero
Date: Sun,  9 Jul 2023 10:55:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230709145530.512177-4-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230709145530.512177-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>

[ Upstream commit 88fc7eb54ecc6db8b773341ce39ad201066fa7da ]

The all-zero pattern is one of the more probable out-of-bound writes so
add a special case to not accidentally accept it.

Also it enables the reliable detection of stack protector initialization
during testing.
