We will be enabling THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK support for ARM, which means
that we can no longer load the stack canary value by masking the stack
pointer and taking the copy that lives in thread_info. Instead, we will
be able to load it from the task_struct directly, by using the TPIDRURO
register which will hold the current task pointer when
THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is in effect. This is much more straight-forward,
and allows us to declutter this code a bit while at it.
Note that this means that ARMv6 (non-v6K) SMP systems can no longer use
this feature, but those are quite rare to begin with, so this is a
reasonable trade off.

Use gen_rtx_set instead of gen_rtx_SET. The former is a wrapper macro
that handles the difference between GCC versions implementing
the latter.

GCC 9 reworks the way the references to the stack canary are
emitted, to prevent the value from being spilled to the stack
before the final comparison in the epilogue, defeating the
purpose, given that the spill slot is under control of the
attacker that we are protecting ourselves from.
Since our canary value address is obtained without accessing
memory (as opposed to pre-v7 code that will obtain it from a
literal pool), it is unlikely (although not guaranteed) that
the compiler will spill the canary value in the same way, so
let's just disable this improvement when building with GCC9+.

The ARM per-task stack protector GCC plugin hits an assert in
the compiler in some case, due to the fact the the SP mask
expression is not sign-extended as it should be. So fix that.

On ARM, we currently only change the value of the stack canary when
switching tasks if the kernel was built for UP. On SMP kernels, this
is impossible since the stack canary value is obtained via a global
symbol reference, which means
a) all running tasks on all CPUs must use the same value
b) we can only modify the value when no kernel stack frames are live
on any CPU, which is effectively never.
So instead, use a GCC plugin to add a RTL pass that replaces each
reference to the address of the __stack_chk_guard symbol with an
expression that produces the address of the 'stack_canary' field
that is added to struct thread_info. This way, each task will use
its own randomized value.
