MIPS: Disable stack checks on MIPS kernels
Disable stack checking on MIPS kernels. Some distribution toolchains
might pass the -fstack-check option to gcc. This results in a
store-doubleword instruction being emitted at the top of all
functions that checks the available stack space. E.g.,
a80000000001d740 <per_cpu_init>:
a80000000001d740: ffa0bfc0 sd zero,-16448(sp)
a80000000001d744: 2405ffc9 li a1,-55
a80000000001d748: 67bdffc0 daddiu sp,sp,-64
Generally, this is undesirable, and especially on the SGI IP27
platform, it will trigger a NULL pointer dereference in
'_raw_spin_lock_irq' during early init.
