x86: implement x86_32 stack protector
Impact: stack protector for x86_32 Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it. It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes. CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu variable. x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely need something better.

+/*
+ * GCC stack protector support.
+ *
+ * Stack protector works by putting predefined pattern at the start of
+ * the stack frame and verifying that it hasn't been overwritten when
+ * returning from the function. The pattern is called stack canary
+ * and unfortunately gcc requires it to be at a fixed offset from %gs.
+ * On x86_64, the offset is 40 bytes and on x86_32 20 bytes. x86_64
+ * and x86_32 use segment registers differently and thus handles this
+ * requirement differently.
+ *
+ * On x86_64, %gs is shared by percpu area and stack canary. All
+ * percpu symbols are zero based and %gs points to the base of percpu
+ * area. The first occupant of the percpu area is always
+ * irq_stack_union which contains stack_canary at offset 40. Userland
+ * %gs is always saved and restored on kernel entry and exit using
+ * swapgs, so stack protector doesn't add any complexity there.
+ *
+ * On x86_32, it's slightly more complicated. As in x86_64, %gs is
+ * used for userland TLS. Unfortunately, some processors are much
+ * slower at loading segment registers with different value when
+ * entering and leaving the kernel, so the kernel uses %fs for percpu
+ * area and manages %gs lazily so that %gs is switched only when
+ * necessary, usually during task switch.
+ *
+ * As gcc requires the stack canary at %gs:20, %gs can't be managed
+ * lazily if stack protector is enabled, so the kernel saves and
+ * restores userland %gs on kernel entry and exit. This behavior is
+ * controlled by CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and accessors are defined in
+ * system.h to hide the details.
