      x86: Fix VMI && stack protector · 7d5b0056
      Alok Kataria authored
      With CONFIG_STACK_PROTECTOR turned on, VMI doesn't boot with
      more than one processor. The problem is with the gs value not
      being initialized correctly when registering the secondary
      processor for VMI's case.
      
      The patch below initializes the gs value for the AP to
      __KERNEL_STACK_CANARY. Without this the secondary processor
      keeps on taking a GP on every gs access.
