Subject: [PATCH] xen: Disable stack protector for irq helper
Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 20:30:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091004183013.GA26101@wavehammer.waldi.eu.org> (raw)

The stack protector needs additional registers on x86_32, which are not
saved in calls to the small paravirt interrupt handlers. This leads to
early crashes as registers are overwritten and not saved by the caller
as instructed.

Signed-off-by: Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>

Mind your own business, Spock.  I'm sick of your halfbreed interference.
