From 8cb37a5974a48569aab8a1736d21399fddbdbdb2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marco Elver Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2022 10:05:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] stack: Introduce CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET The randomize_kstack_offset feature is unconditionally compiled in when the architecture supports it. To add constraints on compiler versions, we require a dedicated Kconfig variable. Therefore, introduce RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET. Furthermore, this option is now also configurable by EXPERT kernels: while the feature is supposed to have zero performance overhead when disabled, due to its use of static branches, there are few cases where giving a distribution the option to disable the feature entirely makes sense. For example, in very resource constrained environments, which would never enable the feature to begin with, in which case the additional kernel code size increase would be redundant.
