[PATCH 1/2] x86/xen/pvh: Set up percpu for stack canary in 32-bit kernel entry
In a 32-bit SMP kernel, the stack canary is a percpu variable accessed as %fs:__stack_chk_guard. However, the ABI for PVH entry does not specify the %fs register state. It currently works because the initial %fs register is 0x10 for QEMU, which is the same as $PVH_DS_SEL. %However, for added safety, the percpu should be set up explicitly %before calling xen_prepare_pvh(), which accesses the stack canary.
