            Status: UNCONFIRMED

  Target Milestone: ---

[hjl@gnu-tgl-3 stack-protector]$ cat x.c
extern void foo (void) __attribute__ ((noreturn));

        movq    %rax, 8(%rsp)
        xorl    %eax, %eax
        call    foo

There should be a stack canary check before calling foo since foo won't return.
