Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 06ec27a ("powerpc/64: add stack protector support")
doesn't initialise the stack canary on SMP secondary CPU's paca,
leading to the following false positive report from the
stack protector.

Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: __schedule+0x978/0xa80

This patch properly initialises the stack_canary of the secondary
idle tasks.
