    init/main.c: Give init_task a canary · d4311ff1
    Aaron Tomlin authored
    Tasks get their end of stack set to STACK_END_MAGIC with the
    aim to catch stack overruns. Currently this feature does not
    apply to init_task. This patch removes this restriction.
    
    Note that a similar patch was posted by Prarit Bhargava
    some time ago but was never merged:
