The patch titled Subject: zboot: fix stack protector in compressed boot phase has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is zboot-fix-stack-protector-in-compressed-boot-phase.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/zboot-fix-stack-protector-in-compressed-boot-phase.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/zboot-fix-stack-protector-in-compressed-boot-phase.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: zboot: fix stack protector in compressed boot phase Calling __stack_chk_guard_setup() in decompress_kernel() is too late because stack checking always fails for decompress_kernel() itself. So remove __stack_chk_guard_setup() and initialize __stack_chk_guard at compile time. Original code comes from ARM but also used for MIPS and SH, so fix them together. Without this fix, compressed booting of these archs will fail because stack checking is enabled by default (>=4.16).
