Right, so I don't think the stack protector is even ready that early - we do set it up later: /* Set up %gs. * * The base of %gs always points to the bottom of the irqstack * union. If the stack protector canary is enabled, it is * located at %gs:40. Note that, on SMP, the boot cpu uses * init data section till per cpu areas are set up. */ movl $MSR_GS_BASE,%ecx movl initial_gs(%rip),%eax movl initial_gs+4(%rip),%edx wrmsr so I think marking the function "no-stack-protector" is the only option right now. We can always look at fixing that later. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. Good mailing practices for 400: avoid top-posting and trim the reply.
