Add support for adding a random offset to the stack while handling syscalls. This patch uses mftb() instead of get_random_int() for better performance. In order to avoid unconditional stack canaries on syscall entry (due to the use of alloca()), also disable stack protector to avoid triggering needless checks and slowing down the entry path. As there is no general way to control stack protector coverage with a function attribute, this must be disabled at the compilation unit level. Signed-off-by: Xiu Jianfeng <xiujianfeng@huawei.com>
