From d7880812b3594d3c6dcbe3cfd71dabb17347d082 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2013 16:52:03 +0200 Subject: idle: Add the stack canary init to cpu_startup_entry() Moving x86 to the generic idle implementation (commit 7d1a9417 "x86: Use generic idle loop") wreckaged the stack protector. I stupidly missed that boot_init_stack_canary() must be inlined from a function which never returns, but I put that call into arch_cpu_idle_prepare() which of course returns. I pondered to play tricks with arch_cpu_idle_prepare() first, but then I noticed, that the other archs which have implemented the stackprotector (ARM and SH) do not initialize the canary for the non-boot cpus. So I decided to move the boot_init_stack_canary() call into cpu_startup_entry() ifdeffed with an CONFIG_X86 for now. This #ifdef is just a temporary measure as I don't want to inflict the boot_init_stack_canary() call on ARM and SH that late in the cycle. I'll queue a patch for 3.11 which removes the #ifdef if the ARM/SH maintainers have no objection.
