Subject: [PATCH] x86: remove redundant stack canary initialization
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 04:19:28 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1267186768-2067-1-git-send-email-jacob.jun.pan@linux.intel.com> (raw)

After we moved boot_init_stack_canary to the secondary CPU start code, there is
no need to do this again in cpu_idle(). Stack canary are initialized earlier than
cpu_idle() for both boot and secondary CPUs.

This is suggested by Thomas Gleixner in http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/20/14
