[PATCH] x86: Don't allow stackprotector without TSC

2014-10-23 Thread Ben Harris
, make HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR dependent on X86_TSC, which is defined iff all supported processors have a TSC. Setting the minimum processor type to one without TSC thus disables the stack protector, making the kernel bootable on such processors. Signed-off-by: Ben Harris --- This patch is against v3.
