Subject: [PATCH v4 03/16] x86/boot: Disable stack protector for early boot code
Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2024 12:52:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240322165233.71698-4-brgerst@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240322165233.71698-1-brgerst@gmail.com>
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 userspace is active and does not
need stack protector enabled.
