The following commit: d7880812 ("idle: Add the stack canary init to cpu_startup_entry()") ... added an x86 specific boot_init_stack_canary() call to the generic cpu_startup_entry() as a temporary hack, with the intention to remove the #ifdef CONFIG_X86 later. More than 5 years later let's finally realize that plan! :-) While implementing stack protector support for PowerPC, we found that calling boot_init_stack_canary() is also needed for PowerPC which uses per task (TLS) stack canary like the X86. However, calling boot_init_stack_canary() would break architectures using a global stack canary (ARM, SH, MIPS and XTENSA). Instead of modifying the #ifdef CONFIG_X86 to an even messier: #if defined(CONFIG_X86) || defined(CONFIG_PPC) PowerPC implemented the call to boot_init_stack_canary() in the function calling cpu_startup_entry(). Let's try the same cleanup on the x86 side as well. On x86 we have two functions calling cpu_startup_entry(): - start_secondary() - cpu_bringup_and_idle() start_secondary() already calls boot_init_stack_canary(), so it's good, and this patch adds the call to boot_init_stack_canary() in cpu_bringup_and_idle(). I.e. now x86 catches up to the rest of the world and the ugly init sequence in init/main.c can be removed from cpu_startup_entry(). As a final benefit we can also remove the <linux/stackprotector.h> dependency from <linux/sched.h>.
