We also have some entire files disabled, eg:

$ git grep no-stack-protector arch/powerpc/
arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:CFLAGS_prom_init.o += -fno-stack-protector
arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:CFLAGS_syscall.o += -fno-stack-protector
arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:CFLAGS_setup_64.o += -fno-stack-protector
arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:CFLAGS_paca.o += -fno-stack-protector
