Subject: [PATCH 2/2 x86#stackprotector] x86: conditionalize stack canary handling in hot path
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 13:31:35 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <497FDFA7.8080402@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <497FDF7C.8080706@kernel.org>

Impact: no unnecessary stack canary swapping during context switch

There's no point in moving stack_canary around during context switch
if it's not enabled.  Conditionalize it.

Ditto as the previous one.
