GCC expects __stack_chk_fail() to be noreturn[1]. Returning from __stack_chk_fail() can thus lead to subtle failures. When crashing, use a volatile NULL pointer dereference. Ideally we would like to "abort()" here, but doing so would require two more syscall definitions just for a cold function. After all, the function isn't even used at all if -fno-stack-protector is specified. Also, don't say "stack smashing" (unlike glibc). The preloader currently initializes the stack canary value to a fixed value (0), which serves little value in protecting against actual buffer overrun attacks.
