+ This option makes the kernel erase the kernel stack before it
+ returns from a system call. That reduces the information which
+ kernel stack leak bugs can reveal and blocks some uninitialized
+ stack variable attacks. This option also provides runtime checks
+ for kernel stack overflow detection.
+
+ The tradeoff is the performance impact: on a single CPU system kernel
+ compilation sees a 1% slowdown, other systems and workloads may vary
+ and you are advised to test this feature on your expected workload
+ before deploying it.

The STACKLEAK feature erases the kernel stack before returning from syscalls. That reduces the information which kernel stack leak bugs can reveal and blocks some uninitialized stack variable attacks. Moreover, STACKLEAK provides runtime checks for kernel stack overflow detection. This commit introduces the architecture-specific code filling the used part of the kernel stack with a poison value before returning to the userspace. Full STACKLEAK feature also contains the gcc plugin which comes in a separate commit. The STACKLEAK feature is ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at: https://grsecurity.net/ https://pax.grsecurity.net/ This code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on our understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are ours and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
