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