      x86: stackprotector & PARAVIRT fix · 4c7f8900
      Ingo Molnar authored
      on paravirt enabled 64-bit kernels the paravirt ops do function
      calls themselves - which is bad with the stackprotector - for
      example pda_init() loads 0 into %gs and then does MSR_GS_BASE
      write (which modifies gs.base) - but that MSR write is a function
      call on paravirt, which with stackprotector tries to read the
      stack canary from the PDA ... crashing the bootup.
      
      the solution was suggested by Arjan van de Ven: to exclude paravirt.c
      from stackprotector, too many lowlevel functionality is in it. It's
      not like we'll have paravirt functions with character arrays on
      their stack anyway...
