/*
 * GCC stack protector support.
 *
 * Stack protector works by putting predefined pattern at the start of
 * the stack frame and verifying that it hasn't been overwritten when
 * returning from the function.  The pattern is called stack canary
 * and unfortunately gcc requires it to be at a fixed offset from %gs.
 * On x86_64, the offset is 40 bytes and on x86_32 20 bytes.  x86_64
 * and x86_32 use segment registers differently and thus handles this
 * requirement differently.
 *
 * On x86_64, %gs is shared by percpu area and stack canary.  All
 * percpu symbols are zero based and %gs points to the base of percpu
 * area.  The first occupant of the percpu area is always
 * irq_stack_union which contains stack_canary at offset 40.  Userland
 * %gs is always saved and restored on kernel entry and exit using
 * swapgs, so stack protector doesn't add any complexity there.
 *
 * On x86_32, it's slightly more complicated.  As in x86_64, %gs is
 * used for userland TLS.  Unfortunately, some processors are much
 * slower at loading segment registers with different value when
 * entering and leaving the kernel, so the kernel uses %fs for percpu
 * area and manages %gs lazily so that %gs is switched only when
 * necessary, usually during task switch.
 *
 * As gcc requires the stack canary at %gs:20, %gs can't be managed
 * lazily if stack protector is enabled, so the kernel saves and
 * restores userland %gs on kernel entry and exit.  This behavior is
 * controlled by CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and accessors are defined in
 * system.h to hide the details.
