[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.4 4/4] tools/nolibc: ensure stack protector guard is never zero

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 88fc7eb54ecc6db8b773341ce39ad201066fa7da ]

The all-zero pattern is one of the more probable out-of-bound writes so
add a special case to not accidentally accept it.

Also it enables the reliable detection of stack protector initialization
during testing.
