Subject: [patch 3/5] Add the canary field to the PDA area and the task struct
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@...ux.intel.com>

This patch adds the per thread cookie field to the task struct and the PDA.
Also it makes sure that the PDA value gets the new cookie value at context
switch, and that a new task gets a new cookie at task creation time.
