    Initial checkin for stack protectors. Here's what it does: · 05d8417f
    Bill Wendling authored
    * The prologue is modified to read the __stack_chk_guard global and insert it
      onto the stack.
    
    * The epilogue is modified to read the stored guard from the stack and compare
      it to the original __stack_chk_guard value. If they differ, then the
      __stack_chk_fail() function is called.
    
    * The stack protector needs to be first on the stack (after the parameters) to
      catch any stack-smashing activities.
    
    Front-end support will follow after a round of beta testing.
