[kernel-hardening] [PATCH 2/2] arm: Kconfig: Add ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE

From: Jinbum Park <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-28 14:30:37
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE detects various overflows at compile-time.
(6974f0c4555e ("include/linux/string.h:
add the option of fortified string.h functions)

ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE means that the architecture can be built and
run with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Since ARM can be built and run with that flag like other architectures,
select ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE as default.
