      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.
