From a9a76b38aaf577887103e3ebb41d70e6aa5a4b19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Gerst Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2025 14:07:35 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot: Disable stack protector for early boot code On 64-bit, this will prevent crashes when the canary access is changed from %gs:40 to %gs:__stack_chk_guard(%rip). RIP-relative addresses from the identity-mapped early boot code will target the wrong address with zero-based percpu. KASLR could then shift that address to an unmapped page causing a crash on boot. This early boot code runs well before user-space is active and does not need stack protector enabled.
