The general stack protector is known to be weak and has pretty small coverage. While setting stack-protector-all would give better protection it would come with a performance cost: for this reason Google's Chrome OS team developed a new stack-protector-strong variant. In addition to the protections offered by -fstack-protector, the new option will guard any function that declares any type or length of local array, even those in structs or unions. It will also protect functions that use a local variable's address in a function argument or on the right-hand side of an assignment. The option was introduced in GCC-4.9, but support for it has been back-ported to our base GCC (r286074) and is also available in clang. The change was tested with dbench and doesn't introduce performance regressions. An exp-run over the ports tree revealed no failures when using the stricter stack-protector-all. Thanks to all testers involved.
