Subject: [PATCH 5.5 243/257] powerpc/64: Prevent stack protection in early boot

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au>

commit 7053f80d96967d8e72e9f2a724bbfc3906ce2b07 upstream.

The previous commit reduced the amount of code that is run before we
setup a paca. However there are still a few remaining functions that
run with no paca, or worse, with an arbitrary value in r13 that will
be used as a paca pointer.

In particular the stack protector canary is stored in the paca, so if
stack protector is activated for any of these functions we will read
the stack canary from wherever r13 points. If r13 happens to point
outside of memory we will get a machine check / checkstop.

For example if we modify initialise_paca() to trigger stack
protection, and then boot in the mambo simulator with r13 poisoned in
skiboot before calling the kernel:

  DEBUG: 19952232: (19952232): INSTRUCTION: PC=0xC0000000191FC1E8: [0x3C4C006D]: addis   r2,r12,0x6D [fetch]

  pc:                             0xC0000000191FCA7C      initialise_paca+0x54
  lr:                             0xC0000000191FC22C      early_setup+0x44
  stack:0x00000000198CBED0        0x0     +0x0
  stack:0x00000000198CBF00        0xC0000000191FC22C      early_setup+0x44
  stack:0x00000000198CBF90        0x1801C968      +0x1801C968

So annotate the relevant functions to ensure stack protection is never
enabled for them.
