From d21f54988bb2927341757d42152440c3abcae4eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 14:36:26 -0700 Subject: arm64: ascii armor the arm64 boot init stack canary Use the ascii-armor canary to prevent unterminated C string overflows from being able to successfully overwrite the canary, even if they somehow obtain the canary value. Inspired by execshield ascii-armor and Daniel Micay's linux-hardened tree.
