I have no doubt about that. I am just telling you that disabling the
stack protector is not an option.

Is CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR enabled when you enable the *_REGULAR
option ? The first thing to check is that the xnarch_switch_to
function contains the necessary bits in the kernel ELF image
disassembly (function vmlinux at the top of the kernel build
directory). You should compare this code to the contents of
kernel/cobalt/arch/x86/thread.c in xenomai sources (where you see
some code with #ifdef CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR).
