[PATCH 6/6] randstruct: Enable Clang support
From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue May 03 2022 - 16:55:49 EST
Clang 15 will support randstruct via the -frandomize-layout-seed-file=...
option. Update the Kconfig and Makefile to recognize this feature.

Fully randomize the member layout of sensitive
structures as much as possible, which may have both a
memory size and performance impact.
+ One difference between the Clang and GCC plugin
+ implementations is the handling of bitfields. The GCC
+ plugin treats them as fully separate variables,
+ introducing sometimes significant padding. Clang tries
+ to keep adjacent bitfields together, but with their bit
+ ordering randomized.
