Subject: x86: disable stack-protector for __restore_processor_state()
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9b7b89efa3bdaceaa2efb93e2d635391835da209;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

x86: disable stack-protector for __restore_processor_state()

The __restore_processor_state() fn restores %gs on resume from S3.  As
such, it cannot be protected by the stack-protector guard since %gs will
not be correct on function entry.

There are only a few other fns in this file and it should not negatively
impact kernel security that they will also have the stack-protector
guard removed (and so it's not worth moving them to another file).

Without this change, S3 resume on a kernel built with
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y will fail.
