Subject: [PATCH v5 01/16] x86/stackprotector: Work around strict Clang TLS symbol requirements
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@...nel.org>
GCC and Clang both implement stack protector support based on Thread
Local Storage (TLS) variables, and this is used in the kernel to
implement per-task stack cookies, by copying a task's stack cookie into
a per-CPU variable every time it is scheduled in.
Both now also implement -mstack-protector-guard-symbol=, which permits
the TLS variable to be specified directly. This is useful because it
will allow us to move away from using a fixed offset of 40 bytes into
the per-CPU area on x86_64, which requires a lot of special handling in
the per-CPU code and the runtime relocation code.
However, while GCC is rather lax in its implementation of this command
line option, Clang actually requires that the provided symbol name
refers to a TLS variable (i.e., one declared with __thread), although it
also permits the variable to be undeclared entirely, in which case it
will use an implicit declaration of the right type.
The upshot of this is that Clang will emit the correct references to the
stack cookie variable in most cases, e.g.,
10d: 64 a1 00 00 00 00 mov %fs:0x0,%eax
10f: R_386_32 __stack_chk_guard
However, if a non-TLS definition of the symbol in question is visible in
the same compilation unit (which amounts to the whole of vmlinux if LTO
is enabled), it will drop the per-CPU prefix and emit a load from a
bogus address.
Work around this by using a symbol name that never occurs in C code, and
emit it as an alias in the linker script.
