+ * (This is directly adopted from the ARM implementation)
+ *
+ * Stack protector works by putting predefined pattern at the start of
+ * the stack frame and verifying that it hasn't been overwritten when
+ * returning from the function. The pattern is called stack canary
+ * and gcc expects it to be defined by a global variable called
+ * "__stack_chk_guard" on MIPS. This unfortunately means that on SMP
+ * we cannot have a different canary value per task.
