This ports over Linux commit 3ce120b16cc5 ("kbuild: add
'-fno-stack-check' to kernel build options"):
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
kbuild: add '-fno-stack-check' to kernel build options
It appears that hardened gentoo enables "-fstack-check" by default for
gcc.
That doesn't work _at_all_ for the kernel, because the kernel stack
doesn't act like a user stack at all: it's much smaller, and it doesn't
auto-expand on use. So the extra "probe one page below the stack" code
generated by -fstack-check just breaks the kernel in horrible ways,
causing infinite double faults etc.
[ I have to say, that the particular code gcc generates looks very
stupid even for user space where it works, but that's a separate
issue. ]

I am porting it, because it may become more acute with the incoming
support for multiple stacks (via initjmp).
