stackprotector: use canary at end of stack to indicate overruns at oops time
(Updated with a common max-stack-used checker that knows about the canary, as suggested by Joe Perches) Use a canary at the end of the stack to clearly indicate at oops time whether the stack has ever overflowed. This is a very simple implementation with a couple of drawbacks: 1) a thread may legitimately use exactly up to the last word on the stack -- but the chances of doing this and then oopsing later seem slim 2) it's possible that the stack usage isn't dense enough that the canary location could get skipped over -- but the worst that happens is that we don't flag the overrun -- though this happens fairly often in my testing :( With the code in place, an intentionally-bloated stack oops might do: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8103f84cc680 IP: [<ffffffff810253df>] update_curr+0x9a/0xa8 PGD 8063 PUD 0 Thread overran stack or stack corrupted Oops: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 0 ... ... unless the stack overrun is so bad that it corrupts some other thread.
