Subject: [PATCH v2 05/11] x86/stackprotector/64: Convert stack protector to normal percpu variable
Date:   Thu, 26 Oct 2023 12:00:54 -0400
Message-ID: <20231026160100.195099-6-brgerst@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20231026160100.195099-1-brgerst@gmail.com>

Older versions of GCC fixed the location of the stack protector canary
at %gs:40.  This constraint forced the percpu section to be linked at
virtual address 0 so that the canary could be the first data object in
the percpu section.  Supporting the zero-based percpu section requires
additional code to handle relocations for RIP-relative references to
percpu data, extra complexity to kallsyms, and workarounds for linker
bugs due to the use of absolute symbols.

Since version 8.1, GCC has options to configure the location of the
canary value.  This allows the canary to be turned into a normal
percpu variable and removes the constraint that the percpu section
be zero-based.
