I'm trying to implement TLS based stack protector in the Linux Kernel.
For that I need to give to GCC the offset at which it will find the
canary (register r2 is pointing to the current task struct).

I have been able to do it with the below patch, but it only works when
include/generated/asm-offsets.h already exists from the start of the build.

Is there a way to evaluate CANARY_OFFSET and add the stack-protector
flags to KBUILD_FLAGS only after include/generated/asm-offsets.h is built ?

Or another way of add -mstack-protector-guard-offset=offsetof(struct
task_struct, stack_canary) ?
This seems to work, at least I see the value in CFLAGS:
diff --git a/arch/powerpc/Makefile b/arch/powerpc/Makefile
index 07d9dce..39ee113 100644
--- a/arch/powerpc/Makefile
+++ b/arch/powerpc/Makefile
@@ -404,6 +394,11 @@ archclean:
  
  archprepare: checkbin
  
+prepare: stack_protector_prepare
+
+stack_protector_prepare: prepare0
+	$(eval KBUILD_CFLAGS += -mstack-protector-guard-offset=$(shell awk '{if ($$2 == "TSK_STACK_CANARY") print $$3;}' include/generated/asm-offsets.h))
+
Great, it works !
Thanks, I have sent v3 of the patches.
