Subject: [GIT PULL] gcc-plugin updates for v4.19-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull these gcc-plugin changes for v4.19-rc1. This has some Kconfig
and Makefile cleanups from Masahiro and myself, but the bulk of this
is the STACKLEAK plugin ported by Alexander Popov. As discussed in its
commit logs, it provides efficient stack content poisoning at syscall
exit. This creates a defense against several classes of flaws:

- uninitialized stack usage (while we continue to work on improving the
  compiler to do this in other ways: e.g. unconditional zero init was
  proposed to gcc and clang, and more plugin work has started too)

- stack content exposure (by greatly reducing the lifetime of valid stack
  contents, exposures via either direct read bugs or unknown cache
  side-channels become much more difficult to exploit. This complements
  the existing buddy and heap poisoning options, but provides the coverage
  for stacks)

- stack exhaustion/guard-page skipping (while we continue to work to
  remove all VLAs in the kernel: of the ~115 cases found in v4.16, after
  the v4.19 merge window we should be down to about 13 remaining, most of
  them in crypto code, all of which have patches under review)

The x86 hooks are included in this series (which have been reviewed by
Ingo, Dave Hansen, and Thomas Gleixner), and have hopefully addressed
your concerns with regard to the size of assembly changes which are now
minimal. The arm64 hooks are expected to be coming through the arm64
tree during the v4.19 merge window as well (written by Laura Abbott and
reviewed by Mark Rutland and Will Deacon).

Thanks!

-Kees
