From 517a92c4e19fcea815332d3155e9fb7723251274 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 09:02:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] panic: print more informative messages on stackprotect failure pointed out by pageexec@freemail.hu: we just simply panic() when there's a stackprotector attack - giving the attacked person no information about what kernel code the attack went against. print out the attacked function.
