The previous commit reduced the amount of code that is run before we
setup a paca. However there are still a few remaining functions that
run with no paca, or worse, with an arbitrary value in r13 that will
be used as a paca pointer.
In particular the stack protector canary is stored in the paca, so if
stack protector is activated for any of these functions we will read
the stack canary from wherever r13 points. If r13 happens to point
outside of memory we will get a machine check / checkstop.
For example if we modify initialise_paca() to trigger stack
protection, and then boot in the mambo simulator with r13 poisoned in
skiboot before calling the kernel:

So annotate the relevant functions to ensure stack protection is never
enabled for them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
