On 64-bit, this will prevent crashes when the canary access is changed from %gs:40 to %gs:__stack_chk_guard(%rip). RIP-relative addresses from the identity-mapped early boot code will target the wrong address with zero-based percpu. KASLR could then shift that address to an unmapped page causing a crash on boot. This early boot code runs well before user-space is active and does not need stack protector enabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
