From 9f671e58159adea641f76c56d1f0bbdcb3c524ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 08:23:44 -0700 Subject: security: Create "kernel hardening" config area Right now kernel hardening options are scattered around various Kconfig files. This can be a central place to collect these kinds of options going forward. This is initially populated with the memory initialization options from the gcc-plugins.
