Print the currently enabled stack and heap initialization modes.
Stack initialization is enabled by a config flag, while heap
initialization is configured at boot time with defaults being set
in the config. It's more convenient for the user to have all information
about these hardening measures in one place.
The possible options for stack are:
- "all" for CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL;
- "byref_all" for CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL;
- "byref" for CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF;
- "__user" for CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_USER;
- "off" otherwise.
Depending on the values of init_on_alloc and init_on_free boottime
options we also report "heap alloc" and "heap free" as "on"/"off".
In the init_on_free mode initializing pages at boot time may take some
time, so print a notice about that as well.
