kbuild: add '-fno-stack-check' to kernel build options
commit 3ce120b16cc548472f80cf8644f90eda958cf1b6 upstream. It appears that hardened gentoo enables "-fstack-check" by default for gcc. That doesn't work _at_all_ for the kernel, because the kernel stack doesn't act like a user stack at all: it's much smaller, and it doesn't auto-expand on use. So the extra "probe one page below the stack" code generated by -fstack-check just breaks the kernel in horrible ways, causing infinite double faults etc. [ I have to say, that the particular code gcc generates looks very stupid even for user space where it works, but that's a separate issue. ] Reported-and-tested-by: Alexander Tsoy <alexander@tsoy.me> Reported-and-tested-by: Toralf Förster <toralf.foerster@gmx.de> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Cc: Jiri Kosina <jikos@kernel.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
