This reverts commit cead61a671.
It exported __stack_smash_handler and __guard, while they may not be
defined by anyone.
The code *declares* __stack_smash_handler and __guard. It does not
create weak symbols. If no external library is linked, they are left
undefined, but yet exported.
If a loadable module tries to access non-existing symbols, bad things
(a page fault, NULL pointer dereference, etc.) will happen. So, the
current code is wrong and dangerous.
If the code were written as follows, it would *define* them as weak
symbols so modules would be able to get access to them.
void (*__stack_smash_handler)(void *) __attribute__((weak));
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__stack_smash_handler);
long __guard __attribute__((weak));
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__guard);
In fact, modpost forbids exporting undefined symbols. It shows an error
message if it detects such a mistake.
ERROR: modpost: "..." [...] was exported without definition
Unfortunately, it is checked only when the code is built as modular.
The problem described above has been unnoticed for a long time because
arch/um/os-Linux/user_syms.c is always built-in.
With a planned change in Kbuild, exporting undefined symbols will always
result in a build error instead of a run-time error. It is a good thing,
but we need to fix the breakage in advance.
One fix is to define weak symbols as shown above. An alternative is to
export them conditionally as follows:
#ifdef CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR
extern void __stack_smash_handler(void *);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__stack_smash_handler);
external long __guard;
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__guard);
#endif
This is what other architectures do; EXPORT_SYMBOL(__stack_chk_guard)
is guarded by #ifdef CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR.
However, adding the #ifdef guard is not sensible because UML cannot
enable the stack-protector in the first place! (Please note UML does
not select HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR in Kconfig.)
So, the code is already broken (and unused) in multiple ways.
Just remove.
