[PATCH 5/7] powerpc: Don't fortify prom_init

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Jun 19 2017 - 16:26:42 EST


From: Daniel Axtens <dja@xxxxxxxxxx>

prom_init is a bit special; in theory it should be able to be
linked separately to the kernel. To keep this from getting too
complex, the symbols that prom_init.c uses are checked.

Fortification adds symbols, and it gets quite messy as it includes
things like panic(). So just don't fortify prom_init.c for now.
