Subject: [RFC PATCH 02/28] Documentation: Bump minimum GCC version to 8.1
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@...nel.org>
Bump the minimum GCC version to 8.1 to gain unconditional support for
referring to the per-task stack cookie using a symbol rather than
relying on the fixed offset of 40 bytes from %GS, which requires
elaborate hacks to support.
