This is useful when using nolibc for security-critical tools. Using nolibc has the advantage that the code is easily auditable and sandboxable with seccomp as no unexpected syscalls are used. Using compiler-assistent stack protection provides another security mechanism. For this to work the compiler and libc have to collaborate. This patch adds the following parts to nolibc that are required by the compiler: * __stack_chk_guard: random sentinel value * __stack_chk_fail: handler for detected stack smashes In addition an initialization function is added that randomizes the sentinel value. Only support for global guards is implemented. Register guards are useful in multi-threaded context which nolibc does not provide support for.
