in Kconfig.

+Adding features that need compiler support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are several features that need compiler support. The recommended way
+to describe the dependency on the compiler feature is to use "depends on"
+followed by a test macro.
+
+config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
+	bool "Stack Protector buffer overflow detection"
+	depends on $(cc-option,-fstack-protector)
+	...
+
+If you need to expose a compiler capability to makefiles and/or C source files,
+CC_HAS_ is the recommended prefix for the config option.

 To restrict a component build to module-only, qualify its config symbol
