Thanks!

I see the patch in linux-next but not in mainline. I suppose we want it in v5.7
and backported to stable kernels so they can boot when built with gcc-10?

I suppose the only reason that the other architectures don't run into the
problem is that they don't call boot_init_stack_canary() in start_secondary()
though they probably should?
