1e5de18278 x86: Introduce GDT_ENTRY_INIT()
GDT_ENTRY_INIT is static initializer of desc_struct.

We already have similar macro GDT_ENTRY() but it's static
initializer for u64 and it cannot be used for desc_struct.

57594742a2 x86: Introduce set_desc_base() and set_desc_limit()
Rename set_base()/set_limit to set_desc_base()/set_desc_limit()
and rewrite them in C. These are naturally introduced by the
idea of get_desc_base()/get_desc_limit().

The conversion actually found the bug in apm_32.c:
bad_bios_desc is written at run-time, but it is defined const
variable.

5c79d2a517 x86: fix x86_32 stack protector bugs
Impact: fix x86_32 stack protector

Brian Gerst found out that %gs was being initialized to stack_canary
instead of stack_canary - 20, which basically gave the same canary
value for all threads.  Fixing this also exposed the following bugs.

* cpu_idle() didn't call boot_init_stack_canary()

* stack canary switching in switch_to() was being done too late making
  the initial run of a new thread use the old stack canary value.

Fix all of them and while at it update comment in cpu_idle() about
calling boot_init_stack_canary().

60a5317ff0 x86: implement x86_32 stack protector
Impact: stack protector for x86_32

Implement stack protector for x86_32.  GDT entry 28 is used for it.
It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes.
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs
to the stack canary segment on entry.  As %gs is otherwise unused by
the kernel, the canary can be anywhere.  It's defined as a percpu
variable.

x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as
struct pt_regs.  With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the
whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy
back on return thus losing all changed.  For now, -fno-stack-protector
is added to all files which contain those functions.  We definitely
need something better.

76397f72fb x86: stackprotector.h misc update
Impact: misc udpate

* wrap content with CONFIG_CC_STACK_PROTECTOR so that other arch files
  can include it directly

* add missing includes

This will help future changes.

947e76cdc3 x86: move stack_canary into irq_stack
Impact: x86_64 percpu area layout change, irq_stack now at the beginning

Now that the PDA is empty except for the stack canary, it can be removed.
The irqstack is moved to the start of the per-cpu section.  If the stack
protector is enabled, the canary overlaps the bottom 48 bytes of the irqstack.

tj: * updated subject
    * dropped asm relocation of irq_stack_ptr
    * updated comments a bit
    * rebased on top of stack canary changes

c6e50f93db x86: cleanup stack protector
Impact: cleanup

Make the following cleanups.

* remove duplicate comment from boot_init_stack_canary() which fits
  better in the other place - cpu_idle().

* move stack_canary offset check from __switch_to() to
  boot_init_stack_canary().
