[git pull] StackProtector enhancements and fixes

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Thu Apr 24 2008 - 17:29:23 EST



Linus, please pull the stackprotector git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-stackprotector.git for-linus

StackProtector is an x86-only feature (for now), but the debug
enhancements and the boot-canary-setting touch generic files as well so
this is offered as a tree separate from x86.git.

The panic.c self-test bits are a bit ugly IMO, but that's the best we
could think of to simulate a real stack-overflow.

Thanks,

Ingo

------------------>
Arjan van de Ven (3):
x86: setup stack canary for the idle threads
x86: add CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR self-test
stackprotector: turn not having the right gcc into a #warning

Daniel Walker (1):
panic.c: fix whitespace additions

Ingo Molnar (11):
x86: stackprotector & PARAVIRT fix
x86: fix stackprotector canary updates during context switches
x86: fix canary of the boot CPU's idle task
panic: print more informative messages on stackprotect failure
panic: print out stacktrace if DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE
x86: if stackprotector is enabled, thn use stack-protector-all by default
stackprotector: include files
stackprotector: add boot_init_stack_canary()
x86: fix the stackprotector canary of the boot CPU
x86: stackprotector: mix TSC to the boot canary
x86: unify stackprotector features
