Documentation/stackprotector: powerpc supports stack protector

2019-06-14T20:44:43Z

powerpc architecture (both 64-bit and 32-bit) supports stack protector mechanism since some time now [see commit 06ec27aea9fc ("powerpc/64: add stack protector support")]. Update stackprotector arch support documentation to reflect the same. Cc: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Bhupesh Sharma Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

Kbuild: rename HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR config variable

2018-06-14T22:15:28Z

HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR should be selected by architectures with stack canary implementation. It is not about the compiler support. For the consistency with commit 050e9baa9dc9 ("Kbuild: rename CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variables"), remove 'CC_' from the config symbol. I moved the 'select' lines to keep the alphabetical sorting. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Documentation: arch-support: remove obsolete architectures

2018-03-26T13:56:10Z

A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped, so we no longer want to track the respective features. We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does the same edits for all the others.
