This option was added as a transition aide when symbol versioning was
first added. It was enabled by default in 2007 and is supported even
by the old GPLv2 binutils. Trying to disable it currently fails to
build in libc and at this point it isn't worth fixing the build.

A future commit will rebuild this as part of libssp. The exact warnings are
fairly trivially fixed:
- No previous declaration for __stack_chk_guard
- idx is the wrong type, nitems yields a size_t
- Casting away volatile on the tmp_stack_chk_guard directly is a no-no.

__has_attribute(__constructor__) is a better test for clang than
defined(__clang__). Switch to it instead.
While we're already here and touching it, pfg@ nailed down when GCC actually
introduced the priority argument -- 4.3. Use that instead of our
hammer-guess of GCC >= 5 for the sake of correctness.
The preproc logic was added at the last minute to appease GCC 4.2, and
kevans@ did clearly not go back and double-check that the logic worked out
for clang builds to use the new variant.
It turns out that clang defines __GNUC__ == 4. Flip it around and check
__clang__ as well, leaving a note to remove it later.

First, this commit is a NOP on GCC <= 4.x; this decidedly doesn't work
cleanly on GCC 4.2, and it will be gone soon anyways so I chose not to dump
time into figuring out if there's a way to make it work. xtoolchain-gcc,
clocking in as GCC6, can cope with it just fine and later versions are also
generally ok with the syntax. I suspect very few users are running GCC4.2
built worlds and also experiencing potential fallout from the status quo.
For dynamically linked applications, this change also means very little.
rtld will run libc ctors before most others, so the situation is
approximately a NOP for these as well.
The real cause for this change is statically linked applications doing
almost questionable things in their constructors. qemu-user-static, for
instance, creates a thread in a global constructor for their async rcu
callbacks. In general, this works in other places-
- On OpenBSD, __stack_chk_guard is stored in an .openbsd.randomdata section
that's initialized by the kernel in the static case, or ld.so in the
dynamic case
- On Linux, __stack_chk_guard is apparently stored in TLS and such a problem
is circumvented there because the value is presumed stable in the new
thread.
On FreeBSD, the rcu thread creation ctor and __guard_setup are both unmarked
priority. qemu-user-static spins up the rcu thread prior to __guard_setup
which starts making function calls- some of these are sprinkled with the
canary. In the middle of one of these functions, __guard_setup is invoked in
the main thread and __stack_chk_guard changes- qemu-user-static is promptly
terminated for an SSP violation that didn't actually happen.
This is not an all-too-common problem. We circumvent it here by giving the
__stack_chk_guard constructor a solid priority. 200 was chosen because that
gives static applications ample range (down to 101) for working around it
if they really need to. I suspect most applications will "just work" as
expected- the default/non-prioritized flavor of __constructor__ functions
run last, and the canary is generally not expected to change as of this
point at the very least.
This took approximately three weeks of spare time debugging to pin down.

This is necessary to make sure that functions that can have stack
protection are not used to update the stack guard. If not, the stack
guard check would fail when it shouldn't.
guard_setup() calls elf_aux_info(), which, in turn, calls memcpy() to
update stack_chk_guard. If either elf_aux_info() or memcpy() have
stack protection enabled, __stack_chk_guard will be modified before
returning from them, causing the stack protection check to fail.
This change uses a temporary buffer to delay changing
__stack_chk_guard until elf_aux_info() returns.

According to style(9):
> normally, include <sys/types.h> OR <sys/param.h>, but not both.
(<sys/param.h> already includes <sys/types.h> when LOCORE is not defined).
The comment in the libc/sys symbol map referenced the generated symbols
for the syscall trampolines. Such comment was out of place in the secure
symbol map so remove the stale comment and attempt to clarify the old one
to avoid risks of confusion.
Pointed out by: kib
As part of the code refactoring to support FORTIFY_SOURCE we want
a new subdirectory "secure" to keep the files related to security.
Move the stack protector functions to this new directory.
No functional change.
