Subject[PATCH v2 1/2] sched: move stack_canary field at the top of task_struct
Date
In order to allow the use of non global stack protector canary,
the stack canary needs to be located at a know offset defined
in Makefile via -mstack-protector-guard-offset.

On powerpc/32, register r2 points to current task_struct at
all time, the stack_canary located inside task_struct can be
used directly if it is located in a known place.

In order to allow that, this patch moves the stack_canary field
out of the randomized area of task_struct.
