    MIPS: Disable stack checks on MIPS kernels · 573deec0
    Joshua Kinard authored
    Disable stack checking on MIPS kernels.  Some distribution toolchains
    might pass the -fstack-check option to gcc.  This results in a
    store-doubleword instruction being emitted at the top of all
    functions that checks the available stack space.  E.g.,
    
      a80000000001d740 <per_cpu_init>:
      a80000000001d740:       ffa0bfc0        sd      zero,-16448(sp)
      a80000000001d744:       2405ffc9        li      a1,-55
      a80000000001d748:       67bdffc0        daddiu  sp,sp,-64
    
    Generally, this is undesirable, and especially on the SGI IP27
    platform, it will trigger a NULL pointer dereference in
    '_raw_spin_lock_irq' during early init.
