[RFC PATCH 05/28] x86: Define the stack protector guard symbol explicitly

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Specify the guard symbol for the stack cookie explicitly, rather than
positioning it exactly 40 bytes into the per-CPU area. Doing so removes
the need for the per-CPU region to be absolute rather than relative to
the placement of the per-CPU template region in the kernel image, and
this allows the special handling for absolute per-CPU symbols to be
removed entirely.

This is a worthwhile cleanup in itself, but it is also a prerequisite
for PIE codegen and PIE linking, which can replace our bespoke and
rather clunky runtime relocation handling.
