[PATCH v2 02/11] x86/stackprotector/64: Remove stack protector test script

From: Brian Gerst
Date: Thu Oct 26 2023 - 12:01:39 EST


This test for the stack protector was added in 2006 to make sure the
compiler had the PR28281 patch applied. With GCC 5.1 being the minimum
supported compiler now, it is no longer necessary.
