[PATCH][PR target/83994] Fix stack-clash-protection code generation on x86

pr83994 is a code generation bug in the stack-clash support that affects
openssl (we've turned on stack-clash-protection by default for the F28
builds).

The core problem is stack-clash (like stack-check) will emit a probing
loop if the prologue allocates enough stack space.  When emitting a loop
both implementations will need a scratch register.

They use get_scratch_register_at_entry to find a suitable scratch
register.  This routine assumes that callee registers saves are
completed at the point where the scratch register is going to be used.

In this particular testcase we select %ebx because ax,cx,dx are used for
parameter passing.  That's fine.  The problem is %ebx hasn't been saved yet!

-fstack-check has a bit of code in the frame setup/layout code which
forces the prologue to use pushes rather than reg->mem moves for saving
registers.  There's a gcc_assert in the prologue expander to catch any
case where the registers aren't saved.

-fstack-clash-protection doesn't have that same bit of magic in the
frame setup/layout code and it bypasses the assertion due to a change I
made back in Nov 2017 due to not being aware of this particular issue.

This patch reverts the assertion bypass I added back in Nov 2017 and
adds clarifying comments.  The patch also forces use of push to save
integer registers for a stack-clash protected prologue if probes are
going to be needed.

Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64.

While the bug is not marked as a regression, ISTM this needs to be fixed
for gcc-8.

OK for the trunk?

-------------- next part --------------
	* i386.c (get_probe_interval): Move to earlier point.
	(ix86_compute_frame_layout): If -fstack-clash-protection and
	the frame is larger than the probe interval, then use pushes
	to save registers rather than reg->mem moves.
	(ix86_expand_prologue): Remove conditional for int_registers_saved
	assertion.

	* gcc.target/i386/pr83994.c: New test.
