Should that not be LONG_S? Otherwise big endian MIPS64 would get a
word-swapped canary (which is probably mostly harmless, but still).

Also I think it worth mentioning in the commit message the MIPS
configuration you hit this with, presumably a Loongson one? For me
decompress_kernel() gets a stack guard on loongson3_defconfig, but not
malta_defconfig or malta_defconfig + 64-bit. I presume its sensitive to
the compiler inlining stuff into decompress_kernel() or something such
that it suddenly qualifies for a stack guard.

Cheers
