The patch titled uml: fix compilation and execution with hardened GCC has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is uml-fix-compilation-and-execution-with-hardened-gcc.patch This patch was probably dropped from -mm because it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into its parent patch in the -mm tree. From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx> To make some half-assembly stubs compile, disable various "hardened" GCC features: *) we can't make it build PIC code as we need %ebx to do syscalls and GCC wants it free for PIC *) we can't leave stack protection as the stub is moved (not relocated!) in memory so the RIP-relative access to the canary tries reading from an unmapped address and causes a segfault, since we move the stub of various megabytes (the exact amount will be decided at runtime) away from the link-time address.
