[PATCH v3 00/14] x86-64: Stack protector and percpu improvements

[Brian Gerst]

Currently, x86-64 uses an unusual percpu layout, where the percpu section
is linked at absolute address 0.  The reason behind this is that older GCC
versions placed the stack protector (if enabled) at a fixed offset from the
GS segment base.  Since the GS segement is also used for percpu variables,
this forced the current layout.

GCC since version 8.1 supports a configurable location for the stack
protector value, which allows removal of the restriction on how the percpu
section is linked.  This allows the percpu section to be linked
normally, like most other architectures.  In turn, this allows removal
of code that was needed to support the zero-based percpu section.

The major change with this iteration is adding support to objtool for
older compilers that can't change the location of the stackprotector
canary value.

v3:
- Add objtool suport to convert stackprotector code from older compilers.
- Handle R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX relocations from clang
 
v2:
- Include PVH boot in GSBASE changes.
- Split out removal of 64-bit test script to give full context on why
  it's not needed anymore.
- Formatting and comment cleanups.
