init/main.c: Give init_task a canary
Tasks get their end of stack set to STACK_END_MAGIC with the aim to catch stack overruns. Currently this feature does not apply to init_task. This patch removes this restriction. Note that a similar patch was posted by Prarit Bhargava some time ago but was never merged: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127144305403241&w=2 Signed-off-by: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: dzickus@redhat.com Cc: bmr@redhat.com Cc: jcastillo@redhat.com Cc: jgh@redhat.com Cc: minchan@kernel.org Cc: tglx@linutronix.de Cc: hannes@cmpxchg.org Cc: Alex Thorlton <athorlton@sgi.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Daeseok Youn <daeseok.youn@gmail.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Fabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be> Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Kirill A.
