Subject: [PATCH 1/2 x86#stackprotector] x86: cleanup stack protector
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 13:30:52 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <497FDF7C.8080706@kernel.org> (raw)

Impact: cleanup

Make the following cleanups.

* remove duplicate comment from boot_init_stack_canary() which fits
  better in the other place - cpu_idle().

* move stack_canary offset check from __switch_to() to
  boot_init_stack_canary().

This was part of core/percpu branch before rebasing but really belongs
to stackprotector branch.
