From 7d5b005652bc5ae3e1e0efc53fd0e25a643ec506 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alok Kataria Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 15:34:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Fix VMI && stack protector With CONFIG_STACK_PROTECTOR turned on, VMI doesn't boot with more than one processor. The problem is with the gs value not being initialized correctly when registering the secondary processor for VMI's case. The patch below initializes the gs value for the AP to __KERNEL_STACK_CANARY. Without this the secondary processor keeps on taking a GP on every gs access.
