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.

+ bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection"
+ 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.
