[PATCH v3 1/2] create HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR for centralized use

Kees Cook keescook at chromium.org
Tue Dec 17 17:43:13 EST 2013


Instead of duplicating the CC_STACKPROTECTOR Kconfig and Makefile logic
in each architecture, switch to using HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR and keep
everything in one place. This retains the x86-specific bug verification
scripts.
