Subject: [PATCHv2] arm64: Add CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR
Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2014 15:09:15 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1390604955-6309-1-git-send-email-lauraa@codeaurora.org> (raw)

arm64 currently lacks support for -fstack-protector. Add
similar functionality to arm to detect stack corruption.

+	  the stack just before the return address, and validates
+	  the value just before actually returning.  Stack based buffer

+	  overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
+	  neutralized via a kernel panic.
