Add the IR attribute 'sspstrong'.
SSPStrong applies a heuristic to insert stack protectors in these situations: * A Protector is required for functions which contain an array, regardless of type or length. * A Protector is required for functions which contain a structure/union which contains an array, regardless of type or length. Note, there is no limit to the depth of nesting. * A protector is required when the address of a local variable (i.e., stack based variable) is exposed. (E.g., such as through a local whose address is taken as part of the RHS of an assignment or a local whose address is taken as part of a function argument.) This patch implements the SSPString attribute to be equivalent to SSPRequired. This will change in a subsequent patch. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@173230 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
