Steven Noonan d29c7196bf toolchain: granular choice for stack protector
Currently, we only support two levels of stach-smashing protection:
  - entirely disabled,
  - protect _all_ functions with -fstack-protector-all.

-fstack-protector-all tends to be far too aggressive and impacts
performance too much to be worth on a real product.

Add a choice that allows us to select between different levels of
stack-smashing protection:
  - none
  - basic   (NEW)
  - strong  (NEW)
  - all

The differences are documented in the GCC online documentation:
    https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.2/gcc/Optimize-Options.html

[yann.morin.1998@free.fr:
  - rebase
  - add legacy handling
  - SSP-strong depends on gcc >= 4.9
  - slightly simple ifeq-block in package/Makefile.in
  - keep the comment in the choice; add a comment shen strong is not
    available
  - drop the defaults (only keep the legacy)
  - update commit log

[Thomas:
 - only show the choice if the toolchain has SSP support
 - add details for the BR2_SSP_ALL option that it has a significant
   performance impact.]

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
