[PATCH 1/2] x86/xen/pvh: Set up percpu for stack canary in 32-bit kernel entry

From: Hou Wenlong
Date: Mon Oct 23 2023 - 05:10:06 EST


In a 32-bit SMP kernel, the stack canary is a percpu variable accessed
as %fs:__stack_chk_guard. However, the ABI for PVH entry does not
specify the %fs register state. It currently works because the initial
%fs register is 0x10 for QEMU, which is the same as $PVH_DS_SEL.
%However, for added safety, the percpu should be set up explicitly
%before calling xen_prepare_pvh(), which accesses the stack canary.
