[PATCH][GCC][AArch64] Ensure that outgoing argument size is at least 8 bytes when alloca and stack-clash. [Patch (3/6)]

[Tamar Christina]

Hi All,

This patch adds a requirement that the number of outgoing arguments for a
function is at least 8 bytes when using stack-clash protection.

By using this condition we can avoid a check in the alloca code and so have
smaller and simpler code there.

A simplified version of the AArch64 stack frames is:

   +-----------------------+                                              
   |                       |                                                 
   |                       |                                              
   |                       |                                              
   +-----------------------+                                              
   |LR                     |                                              
   +-----------------------+                                              
   |FP                     |                                              
   +-----------------------+                                              
   |dynamic allocations    | ----  expanding area which will push the outgoing
   +-----------------------+       args down during each allocation.
   |padding                |
   +-----------------------+
   |outgoing stack args    | ---- safety buffer of 8 bytes (aligned)
   +-----------------------+

By always defining an outgoing argument, alloca(0) effectively is safe to probe
at $sp due to the reserved buffer being there.  It will never corrupt the stack.

This is also safe for alloca(x) where x is 0 or x % page_size == 0.  In the
former it is the same case as alloca(0) while the latter is safe because any
allocation pushes the outgoing stack args down:

   |FP                     |                                              
   +-----------------------+                                              
   |                       |
   |dynamic allocations    | ----  alloca (x)
   |                       |
   +-----------------------+
   |padding                |
   +-----------------------+
   |outgoing stack args    | ---- safety buffer of 8 bytes (aligned)
   +-----------------------+

Which means when you probe for the residual, if it's 0 you'll again just probe
in the outgoing stack args range, which we know is non-zero (at least 8 bytes).

Bootstrapped Regtested on aarch64-none-linux-gnu and no issues.
Target was tested with stack clash on and off by default.

Ok for trunk?

Thanks,
Tamar
