- * from the percpu segment base.  On x86_64, the offset is 40 bytes.

- * The same segment is shared by percpu area and stack canary.  On
- * x86_64, percpu symbols are zero based and %gs (64-bit) points to the

- * fixed_percpu_data which contains stack_canary at the appropriate
- * offset.  On x86_32, the stack canary is just a regular percpu
- * variable.

- * Putting percpu data in %fs on 32-bit is a minor optimization compared to
- * using %gs.  Since 32-bit userspace normally has %fs == 0, we are likely
- * to load 0 into %fs on exit to usermode, whereas with percpu data in
- * %gs, we are likely to load a non-null %gs on return to user mode.
