That's not correct: if you enable stack protector for a kernel architecture that doesn't having it enabled, it's unlikely for the resulting kernel to boot. An architecture must handle the changes that the compiler introduces when adding -fstack-protector (for example, having the stack protector canary value defined, having the failure function defined, handling context switches changing canaries, etc). -Kees -- Kees Cook Pixel Security -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
