Kees, I have a question about this patch. When I configure a kernel for ARCH=i386 it sets these Kconfig variables this way:
HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=n CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR=n CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=n It seems to me that at least _one_ of the last _three_ variables should be set to 'y' with the defaults that are being set, probably CC_STACKPOINTER_NONE=y. All of them being 'n' doesn't make sense to me. As a side note, these defaults set X86_32_LAZY_GS=n (depends on X86_32 [=y] && CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE [=n]) which causes the x86_32 kernels to hang. I'll discuss that in a different email thread, but just wanted to say how I came upon this. - Matthew Whitehead
