CONFIG_ARM_STACK_PROTECTION¶

(No prompt – not directly user assignable.)

Type: bool

Help¶

This option enables either:
- The built-in Stack Pointer limit checking, or
- the MPU-based stack guard
to cause a system fatal error
if the bounds of the current process stack are overflowed.
The two stack guard options are mutually exclusive. The
selection of the built-in Stack Pointer limit checking is
prioritized over the MPU-based stack guard. The developer
still has the option to manually select the MPU-based
stack guard, if this is desired.
