Subject: [PATCH v7 26/45] x86/head: re-enable stack protection for 32/64-bit builds

From: Michael Roth <michael.roth@....com>

As of commit 103a4908ad4d ("x86/head/64: Disable stack protection for
head$(BITS).o") kernel/head64.c is compiled with -fno-stack-protector
to allow a call to set_bringup_idt_handler(), which would otherwise
have stack protection enabled with CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG. While
sufficient for that case, there may still be issues with calls to any
external functions that were compiled with stack protection enabled that
in-turn make stack-protected calls, or if the exception handlers set up
by set_bringup_idt_handler() make calls to stack-protected functions.
As part of 103a4908ad4d, stack protection was also disabled for
kernel/head32.c as a precaution.

Subsequent patches for SEV-SNP CPUID validation support will introduce
both such cases. Attempting to disable stack protection for everything
in scope to address that is prohibitive since much of the code, like
SEV-ES #VC handler, is shared code that remains in use after boot and
could benefit from having stack protection enabled. Attempting to inline
calls is brittle and can quickly balloon out to library/helper code
where that's not really an option.

Instead, re-enable stack protection for head32.c/head64.c and make the
appropriate changes to ensure the segment used for the stack canary is
initialized in advance of any stack-protected C calls.

for head64.c:

- The BSP will enter from startup_64 and call into C code
  (startup_64_setup_env) shortly after setting up the stack, which may
  result in calls to stack-protected code. Set up %gs early to allow
  for this safely.
- APs will enter from secondary_startup_64*, and %gs will be set up
  soon after. There is one call to C code prior to this
  (__startup_secondary_64), but it is only to fetch sme_me_mask, and
  unlikely to be stack-protected, so leave things as they are, but add
  a note about this in case things change in the future.

for head32.c:

- BSPs/APs will set %fs to __BOOT_DS prior to any C calls. In recent
  kernels, the compiler is configured to access the stack canary at
  %fs:__stack_chk_guard, which overlaps with the initial per-cpu
  __stack_chk_guard variable in the initial/'master' .data..percpu
  area. This is sufficient to allow access to the canary for use
  during initial startup, so no changes are needed there.
