[PATCH 5/7] uml: fix compilation and execution with hardened GCC

From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Date: Sun Apr 30 2006 - 10:18:46 EST


From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx>

To make some half-assembly stubs compile, disable various "hardened" GCC
features:

*) we can't make it build PIC code as we need %ebx to do syscalls and GCC wants it
free for PIC
*) we can't leave stack protection as the stub is moved (not relocated!) in memory
so the RIP-relative access to the canary tries reading from an unmapped address
and causes a segfault, since we move the stub of various megabytes (the exact
amount will be decided at runtime) away from the link-time address.
