This functionality was tentatively added in the past
(commit 6533b7c16ee5 ("powerpc: Initial stack protector
(-fstack-protector) support")) but had to be reverted
(commit f2574030b0e3 ("powerpc: Revert the initial stack
protector support") because of GCC implementing it differently
whether it had been built with libc support or not.
Now, GCC offers the possibility to manually set the
stack-protector mode (global or tls) regardless of libc support.
This time, the patch selects HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR only if
-mstack-protector-guard=global is supported by GCC.
On PPC32, as register r2 points to current task_struct at
all time, the stack_canary located inside task_struct can be
used directly by using the following GCC options:
-mstack-protector-guard=tls
-mstack-protector-guard-reg=r2
-mstack-protector-guard-offset=4
(= offsetof(struct task_struct, stack_canary))
