Hi Palmer,
I fell onto this issue again today, do you think you could take this
patch in for-next? Because I assume it is too late now to take the sv48
patchset: if not, I can respin it today or tomorrow.
Thanks,
Alex

Because of the stack canary feature that reads from the current task
structure the stack canary value, the thread pointer register "tp" must
be set before calling any C function from head.S: by chance, setup_vm
and all the functions that it calls does not seem to be part of the
functions where the canary check is done, but in the following commits,
some functions will.
