Merge branch 'core-stackprotector-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull strong stackprotector support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds a CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y, a new, stronger
  stack canary checking method supported by the newest GCC versions (4.9
  and later).

  Here's the 'intensity comparison' between the various protection
  modes:

      - defconfig
        11430641 kernel text size
        36110 function bodies

      - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
        11468490 kernel text size (+0.33%)
        1015 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (2.81%)

      - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch
        11692790 kernel text size (+2.24%)
        7401 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (20.5%)

  the strong model comes with non-trivial costs, which is why we
  preserved the 'regular' and 'none' models as well"

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.
This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above.
