Subject: x86/module: Revert "Deal with GOT based stack cookie load on Clang < 17"
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=12b7bf92bddd449e4e72e23d5b4e2ed730e4d3e8;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

x86/module: Revert "Deal with GOT based stack cookie load on Clang < 17"

Now that the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel
has been raised to 17.0.1, the workaround added by

  78c4374ef8b8 ("x86/module: Deal with GOT based stack cookie load on Clang < 17")

will never be included, as the final clause in the preprocessor
conditional is always false. Revert the change to clean up the dead
code.
