2023-06-09tools/nolibc: fix segfaults on compilers without attribute no_stack_protectorThomas Weißschuh
Not all compilers, notably GCC < 10, have support for __attribute__((no_stack_protector)). Fall back to a mechanism that also works there. Tested with GCC 9.5.0 from kernel.org crosstools.

2023-06-09tools/nolibc: add autodetection for stackprotector supportThomas Weißschuh
The stackprotector support in nolibc should be enabled iff it is also enabled in the compiler. Use the preprocessor defines added by gcc and clang if stackprotector support is enable to automatically do so in nolibc. This completely removes the need for any user-visible API. To avoid inlining the lengthy preprocessor check into every user introduce a new header compiler.h that abstracts the logic away. As the define NOLIBC_STACKPROTECTOR is now not user-relevant anymore prefix it with an underscore.

2023-06-09tools/nolibc: ensure stack protector guard is never zeroThomas Weißschuh
The all-zero pattern is one of the more probable out-of-bound writes so add a special case to not accidentally accept it. Also it enables the reliable detection of stack protector initialization during testing.

2023-03-27tools/nolibc: add support for stack protectorThomas Weißschuh
This is useful when using nolibc for security-critical tools. Using nolibc has the advantage that the code is easily auditable and sandboxable with seccomp as no unexpected syscalls are used. Using compiler-assistent stack protection provides another security mechanism. For this to work the compiler and libc have to collaborate. This patch adds the following parts to nolibc that are required by the compiler: * __stack_chk_guard: random sentinel value * __stack_chk_fail: handler for detected stack smashes In addition an initialization function is added that randomizes the sentinel value. Only support for global guards is implemented. Register guards are useful in multi-threaded context which nolibc does not provide support for.
