From 80d47defddc000271502057ebd7efa4fd6481542 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Gerst Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2025 14:07:39 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] x86/stackprotector/64: Convert to normal per-CPU variable Older versions of GCC fixed the location of the stack protector canary at %gs:40. This constraint forced the percpu section to be linked at absolute address 0 so that the canary could be the first data object in the percpu section. Supporting the zero-based percpu section requires additional code to handle relocations for RIP-relative references to percpu data, extra complexity to kallsyms, and workarounds for linker bugs due to the use of absolute symbols. GCC 8.1 supports redefining where the canary is located, allowing it to become a normal percpu variable instead of at a fixed location. This removes the constraint that the percpu section must be zero-based.
