lguest: fix 'unhandled trap 13' with CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We don't set up the canary; let's disable stack protector on boot.c so
we can get into lguest_init, then set it up.  As a side effect,
switch_to_new_gdt() sets up %fs for us properly too.
