From: Jason Andryuk Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 12:58:04 -0400 Subject: x86/xen: Delay get_cpu_cap until stack canary is established Git-commit: 36104cb9012a82e73c32a3b709257766b16bcd1d Patch-mainline: v4.17-rc1 References: bsc#1110006 Commit 2cc42bac1c79 ("x86-64/Xen: eliminate W+X mappings") introduced a call to get_cpu_cap, which is fstack-protected. This is works on x86-64 as commit 4f277295e54c ("x86/xen: init %gs very early to avoid page faults with stack protector") ensures the stack protector is configured, but it it did not cover x86-32. Delay calling get_cpu_cap until after xen_setup_gdt has initialized the stack canary. Without this, a 32bit PV machine crashes early in boot.
