+         This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
+	  feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
+	  value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
+	  the value just before actually returning.  Stack based buffer
+	  overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
+	  overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
+	  neutralized via a kernel panic.
+
+	  This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
+	  gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
+	  detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

+	  Normally, GCC only inserts the canary value protection for
+	  functions that use large-ish on-stack buffers. By enabling
+	  this option, GCC will be asked to do this for ALL functions.
