2.6.3 is from stoneage..

What about just CONFIG_PROPOLICY?  The hardnedefoo naming is so childish
(or gentooish, in the end it's the same anyway..)

What do you need these prototypes for, they're not used at all.  Also
no need to put ifdefs around them.

What do you need errno for?

ah, it seems you need them because you put the exports before the
delaration.  This file should probably look more like:

/*
 * Insert Copyright here.
 *
 * Insert small description here.
 */
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>

int __guard = '\0\0\n\777';
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS(__guard);
 
static const char message[] = "propolice detects %x at function %s.\n";

void __stack_smash_handler(int damaged, char func[])
{
	panic(message, damaged, func);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS(__stack_smash_handler);
