The patch titled
Subject: arm64: ascii armor the arm64 boot init stack canary
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
arm64-ascii-armor-the-arm64-boot-init-stack-canary.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: arm64: ascii armor the arm64 boot init stack canary
Use the ascii-armor canary to prevent unterminated C string overflows from
being able to successfully overwrite the canary, even if they somehow
obtain the canary value.
Inspired by execshield ascii-armor and Daniel Micay's linux-hardened tree.
