Subject[PATCH] use -fstack-protector-strong
Build the kernel with -fstack-protector-strong when it is available
(gcc 4.9 and later). This increases the coverage of the stack protector
without the heavy performance hit of -fstack-protector-all.

On a Chrome OS kernel build, this grows the uncompressed kernel image
by less than 0.16% on x86:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 keescook portage 118407919 Apr 19 15:00 vmlinux

ARM's compressed boot code now triggers stack protection, so a static
guard was added. Since this is only used during decompression and was
never used before, the exposure here is very small. Once it switches to
the full kernel, the stack guard is back to normal.
