Subject: [PATCH] gcc-plugins: Remove ARM_SSP_PER_TASK plugin
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2025 09:04:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250409160409.work.168-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
As part of trying to remove GCC plugins from Linux, drop the
ARM_SSP_PER_TASK plugin. The feature is available upstream since GCC
12, so anyone needing newer kernels with per-task ssp can update their
compiler[1].
Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
