On the linux kernel and stack randomization

[none none <justliketocode () yahoo com>]

When did the mainline linux kernel implement these
changes? I cannot find ANY discussion on these changes
on the LKML? If someone can point me in the right
direction for a discussion on this it would be helpful
thanks.
