Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for userland:

- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
  turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus.  You
  can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
  It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
  by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
  (sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
  libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
  breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.

Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.
