x86/stackprotector/32: Make the canary into a regular percpu variable

On 32-bit kernels, the stackprotector canary is quite nasty -- it is
stored at %gs:(20), which is nasty because 32-bit kernels use %fs for
percpu storage.  It's even nastier because it means that whether %gs
contains userspace state or kernel state while running kernel code
depends on whether stackprotector is enabled (this is
CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS), and this setting radically changes the way
that segment selectors work.  Supporting both variants is a
maintenance and testing mess.

Merely rearranging so that percpu and the stack canary
share the same segment would be messy as the 32-bit percpu address
layout isn't currently compatible with putting a variable at a fixed
offset.

Fortunately, GCC 8.1 added options that allow the stack canary to be
accessed as %fs:__stack_chk_guard, effectively turning it into an ordinary
percpu variable.  This lets us get rid of all of the code to manage the
stack canary GDT descriptor and the CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS mess.

(That name is special.  We could use any symbol we want for the
 %fs-relative mode, but for CONFIG_SMP=n, gcc refuses to let us use any
 name other than __stack_chk_guard.)

Forcibly disable stackprotector on older compilers that don't support
the new options and turn the stack canary into a percpu variable. The
"lazy GS" approach is now used for all 32-bit configurations.

Also makes load_gs_index() work on 32-bit kernels. On 64-bit kernels,
it loads the GS selector and updates the user GSBASE accordingly. (This
is unchanged.) On 32-bit kernels, it loads the GS selector and updates
GSBASE, which is now always the user base. This means that the overall
effect is the same on 32-bit and 64-bit, which avoids some ifdeffery.

  * Stack protector works by putting predefined pattern at the start of

- * 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
- * fixed_percpu_data 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.
+ * The same segment is shared by percpu area and stack canary.  On

+ * variable.
  *
- * 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.
+ * Putting percpu data in %fs on 32-bit is a minor optimization compared to
+ * using %gs.  Since 32-bit userspace normally has %fs == 0, we are likely
+ * to load 0 into %fs on exit to usermode, whereas with percpu data in
+ * %gs, we are likely to load a non-null %gs on return to user mode.
  *
- * 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.
