Christophe Leroy 06ec27aea9 powerpc/64: add stack protector support
On PPC64, as register r13 points to the paca_struct at all time,
this patch adds a copy of the canary there, which is copied at
task_switch.
That new canary is then used by using the following GCC options:
-mstack-protector-guard=tls
-mstack-protector-guard-reg=r13
-mstack-protector-guard-offset=offsetof(struct paca_struct, canary))

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
