[PATCH -next v3 0/2] powerpc: add support for syscall stack randomization

Hi,

This patchset adds support for syscall stack randomization for
powerpc, which can make harder the various stack-based attacks that
rely on deterministic stack structure.

Changes in v3:
-add a lead-up patch to move system_call_exception() to syscall.c to
avoid disabling stack protector for all functions in interrupt.c
Changes in v2:
-move choose choose_random_kstack_offset() to the end of system_call_exception
-allow full 6 (10) bits of entropy
-disable stack-protector for interrupt.c

powerpc: Move system_call_exception() to syscall.c
