2  * GCC stack protector support.
3  *
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 gcc expects it to be defined by a global variable called
8  * "__stack_chk_guard" on ARM.  This unfortunately means that on SMP
9  * we cannot have a different canary value per task.
