From df0698be14c6683606d5df2d83e3ae40f85ed0d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2010 21:50:33 -0400 Subject: ARM: stack protector: change the canary value per task A new random value for the canary is stored in the task struct whenever a new task is forked. This is meant to allow for different canary values per task. On ARM, GCC expects the canary value to be found in a global variable called __stack_chk_guard. So this variable has to be updated with the value stored in the task struct whenever a task switch occurs. Because the variable GCC expects is global, this cannot work on SMP unfortunately. So, on SMP, the same initial canary value is kept throughout, making this feature a bit less effective although it is still useful. One way to overcome this GCC limitation would be to locate the __stack_chk_guard variable into a memory page of its own for each CPU, and then use TLB locking to have each CPU see its own page at the same virtual address for each of them.
