4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Andy Lutomirski <l...@kernel.org> commit 7fbbd5cbebf118a9e09f5453f686656a167c3d1c upstream. Now that the SYSENTER stack has a guard page, there's no need for a canary to detect overflow after the fact.
