If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jason Andryuk commit 36104cb9012a82e73c32a3b709257766b16bcd1d upstream. Commit 2cc42bac1c79 ("x86-64/Xen: eliminate W+X mappings") introduced a call to get_cpu_cap, which is fstack-protected. This is works on x86-64 as commit 4f277295e54c ("x86/xen: init %gs very early to avoid page faults with stack protector") ensures the stack protector is configured, but it it did not cover x86-32. Delay calling get_cpu_cap until after xen_setup_gdt has initialized the stack canary. Without this, a 32bit PV machine crashes early in boot.
