stackprotector: remove self-test
turns out gcc generates such stackprotector-failure sequences in certain circumstances: movq -8(%rbp), %rax # D.16032, xorq %gs:40, %rax #, jne .L17 #, leave ret .L17: call __stack_chk_fail # .size __stack_chk_test_func, .-__stack_chk_test_func .section .init.text,"ax",@progbits .type panic_setup, @function panic_setup: pushq %rbp # note that there's no jump back to the failing context after the call to __stack_chk_fail - i.e. it has a ((noreturn)) attribute. Which is fair enough in the normal case but kills the self-test. (as we cannot reliably return in the self-test) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
