Masami, thanks for verifying!

Would you please apply commit 514ca14ed544 ("start_kernel: Add
__no_stack_protector function attribute") to linux-6.4.y? The series
ending with commit 611d4c716db0 ("x86/hyperv: Mark hv_ghcb_terminate()
as noreturn") that shipped in 6.4 exposes an LLVM issue that affected
16.0.0 and 16.0.1, which was resolved in 16.0.2. When using those
affected LLVM releases, the following crash at boot occurs:

  [    0.181667] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_kernel+0x3cf/0x3d0

514ca14ed544 aims to avoid this on the Linux side. I have verified that
it applies to 6.4.3 cleanly and resolves the issue there, as has Masami.

If there are any issues or questions, please let me know.

Cheers,
Nathan
