ARM: initial stack protector (-fstack-protector) support
This is the very basic stuff without the changing canary upon task switch yet. Just the Kconfig option and a constant canary value initialized at boot time. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>

1/*
2 * GCC stack protector support.
3 *
4 * Stack protector works by putting predefined pattern at the start of
5 * the stack frame and verifying that it hasn't been overwritten when
6 * returning from the function. The pattern is called stack canary
7 * and gcc expects it to be defined by a global variable called
8 * "__stack_chk_guard" on ARM. This unfortunately means that on SMP
9 * we cannot have a different canary value per task.
