x86: move stack_canary into irq_stack
Impact: x86_64 percpu area layout change, irq_stack now at the beginning Now that the PDA is empty except for the stack canary, it can be removed. The irqstack is moved to the start of the per-cpu section. If the stack protector is enabled, the canary overlaps the bottom 48 bytes of the irqstack. tj: * updated subject * dropped asm relocation of irq_stack_ptr * updated comments a bit * rebased on top of stack canary changes Signed-off-by: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
