Merge branch 'core-stackprotector-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull strong stackprotector support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds a CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y, a new, stronger
  stack canary checking method supported by the newest GCC versions (4.9
  and later).

  Here's the 'intensity comparison' between the various protection
  modes:

      - defconfig
        11430641 kernel text size
        36110 function bodies

      - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
        11468490 kernel text size (+0.33%)
        1015 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (2.81%)

      - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch
        11692790 kernel text size (+2.24%)
        7401 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (20.5%)

  the strong model comes with non-trivial costs, which is why we
  preserved the 'regular' and 'none' models as well"

-config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
-	bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection"
-	---help---
-	  This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
-	  feature puts, at the beginning of functions, a canary value on
-	  the stack just before the return address, and validates
-	  the value just before actually returning.  Stack based buffer
-	  overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
-	  overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
-	  neutralized via a kernel panic.
-
-	  This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
-	  gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
-	  detected and for those versions, this configuration option is
-	  ignored. (and a warning is printed during bootup)
