x86/head/64: Re-enable stack protection
Due to 103a4908 ("x86/head/64: Disable stack protection for head$(BITS).o") kernel/head{32,64}.c are 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. 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 the 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 %gs being setup (__startup_secondary_64()), but it is only to fetch 'sme_me_mask' global, so just load 'sme_me_mask' directly instead, and remove the now-unused __startup_secondary_64() function. 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 [1], 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.
