This is a proposed alternative for the memory initialization series, which refactoring the existing gcc plugins into a separate Kconfig file and collects all the related options together with some more language to describe their differences. The last patch adds the Clang auto init option, as done by Alexander Potapenko. Since there isn't really a good way to "select" with dependencies, I've left out CONFIG_INIT_ALL_MEMORY for the moment... I intend to carry this in the gcc-plugins tree, but I'd really like to get Acks from Masahiro (Kconfig changes, Makefile change), and from James (adding the new Kconfig.hardening to security/Kconfig). Thanks! -Kees v2: - add plugin menu (masahiro) - adjust patch subject prefixes (masahiro) - drop redundent "depends" (masahiro) - fixed early use of CC_HAS_AUTO_VAR_INIT (masahiro) - dropped default-enabled for STACK_INIT_ALL (masahiro) Kees Cook (3): security: Create "kernel hardening" config area security: Move stackleak config to Kconfig.hardening security: Implement Clang's stack initialization Makefile | 5 ++ scripts/gcc-plugins/Kconfig | 125 ++------------------------- security/Kconfig | 2 + security/Kconfig.hardening | 163 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 177 insertions(+), 118 deletions(-) create mode 100644 security/Kconfig.hardening -- 2.17.1
