GCC plugins are loadable modules that provide extra features to the
compiler. They are useful for runtime instrumentation and static analysis.
See Documentation/gcc-plugins.txt for details.

- help
- While the kernel is built with warnings enabled for any missed

- bool "Erase the kernel stack before returning from syscalls"

- help
- This option makes the kernel erase the kernel stack before
- returning from system calls. That reduces the information which
- kernel stack leak bugs can reveal and blocks some uninitialized
- stack variable attacks.

- The tradeoff is the performance impact: on a single CPU system kernel

- The STACKLEAK gcc plugin instruments the kernel code for tracking
- the lowest border of the kernel stack (and for some other purposes).
