    + help
    + This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature that is new
    + in GCC version 4.1. This feature puts, at the beginning of
    + critical 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.
    +
    + NOTE NOTE NOTE
    + At this point this requires a special, patched GCC compiler!
    + Do not enable this unless you are using such a compiler.

    +config STACK_PROTECTOR_ALL
    + bool "Use stack-protector for all functions"
    + depends on STACK_PROTECTOR
    + default n
    + help
    + Normally, GCC only inserts the canary value protection for
    + functions that use large-ish on-stack buffers. By enabling
    + this option, GCC will be asked to do this for ALL functions.
