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

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