Ok, Micha explained to me what you mean here and I did:

static void __attribute__((optimize("no-stack-protect"))) notrace start_secondary(void *unused)
{

but it said

arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c:216:1: warning: bad option â-fno-stack-protectâ to attribute âoptimizeâ [-Wattributes]
  216 | {
      | ^

because -fno-stack-protect is not implemented yet.

Regardless, yes, that can work too, if we had the -fno-stack-protect
variant.

Thx.
