Subject: [PATCH 3.18 52/59] stackprotector: Increase the per-task stack canarys random range from 32 bits to 64 bits on 64-bit platforms
3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Daniel Micay <danielmicay@...il.com>
commit 5ea30e4e58040cfd6434c2f33dc3ea76e2c15b05 upstream.
The stack canary is an 'unsigned long' and should be fully initialized to
random data rather than only 32 bits of random data.
