Subject: [PULL 03/13] arm: KVM: Do not use stack-protector to compile HYP code
Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 11:47:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170518094722.9926-4-cdall@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170518094722.9926-1-cdall@linaro.org>

From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

We like living dangerously. Nothing explicitely forbids stack-protector
to be used in the HYP code, while distributions routinely compile their
kernel with it. We're just lucky that no code actually triggers the
instrumentation.

Let's not try our luck for much longer, and disable stack-protector
for code living at HYP.
