2 * GCC stack protector support.
4 * (This is directly adopted from the ARM implementation)
6 * Stack protector works by putting predefined pattern at the start of
7 * the stack frame and verifying that it hasn't been overwritten when
8 * returning from the function. The pattern is called stack canary
9 * and gcc expects it to be defined by a global variable called
10 * "__stack_chk_guard" on MIPS. This unfortunately means that on SMP
11 * we cannot have a different canary value per task.

23 * Initialize the stackprotector canary value.
25 * NOTE: this must only be called from functions that never return,
26 * and it must always be inlined.
