+Subject: [PATCH 5/5] x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, next try
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+... or the odyssey of trying to disable the stack protector for the
+function which generates the stack canary value.
+
+The whole story started with Sergei reporting a boot crash with a kernel
+built with gcc-10:
+
+ Kernel panic — not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary
+ CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc5—00235—gfffb08b37df9 #139
+ Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./H77M—D3H, BIOS F12 11/14/2013
+ Call Trace:
+ dump_stack
+ panic
+ ? start_secondary
+ __stack_chk_fail
+ start_secondary
+ secondary_startup_64
+ -—-[ end Kernel panic — not syncing: stack—protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary
+
+This happens because gcc-10 tail-call optimizes the last function call
+in start_secondary() - cpu_startup_entry() - and thus emits a stack
+canary check which fails because the canary value changes after the
+boot_init_stack_canary() call.
+
+To fix that, the initial attempt was to mark the one function which
+generates the stack canary with:
+
+ __attribute__((optimize("-fno-stack-protector"))) ... start_secondary(void *unused)
+
+however, using the optimize attribute doesn't work cumulatively
+as the attribute does not add to but rather replaces previously
+supplied optimization options - roughly all -fxxx options.
+
+The key one among them being -fno-omit-frame-pointer and thus leading to
+not present frame pointer - frame pointer which the kernel needs.
+
+The next attempt to prevent compilers from tail-call optimizing
+the last function call cpu_startup_entry(), shy of carving out
+start_secondary() into a separate compilation unit and building it with
+-fno-stack-protector, is this one.
+
+The current solution is short and sweet, and reportedly, is supported by
+both compilers so let's see how far we'll get this time.
