Jinjie Ruan 2335c9cb83 ARM: 9407/1: Add support for STACKLEAK gcc plugin
Add the STACKLEAK gcc plugin to arm32 by adding the helper used by
stackleak common code: on_thread_stack(). It initialize the stack with the
poison value before returning from system calls which improves the kernel
security. Additionally, this disables the plugin in EFI stub code and
decompress code, which are out of scope for the protection.

Before the test on Qemu versatilepb board:
	# echo STACKLEAK_ERASING  > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
	lkdtm: Performing direct entry STACKLEAK_ERASING
	lkdtm: XFAIL: stackleak is not supported on this arch (HAVE_ARCH_STACKLEAK=n)

After:
	# echo STACKLEAK_ERASING  > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
	lkdtm: Performing direct entry STACKLEAK_ERASING
	lkdtm: stackleak stack usage:
	  high offset: 80 bytes
	  current:     280 bytes
	  lowest:      696 bytes
	  tracked:     696 bytes
	  untracked:   192 bytes
	  poisoned:    7220 bytes
	  low offset:  4 bytes
	lkdtm: OK: the rest of the thread stack is properly erased

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
